Just search in google and put in acurazine in the search terms. Type-S's aren't very different mechanically from the non Type-S models. It is by far the easiest thing you car. Just be careful working around the paint and make sure you aren't too rough on anything. Its not fragile like an Audi but if you want to restore it later on don't get too rough.

Can you install it by yourself........yes

You should youtube on how to remove your front bumper. It is easier that way. Some have manage to install it without the front being remove, but it is less work space.

Also, you dont have to look for a specific video that only show casts the TL-S. All TLs CAI are done the same.

Please note that you've been bitten by the mod bug and this is essentially the end of any savings you had planned.

getting the resonator box out is a PITA, best of luck with the install, let us know if you have any questions.

I was able to remove the resonator on my Accord by removing the driver's side fender liner. Took some work to get it out but not as much as removing the front bumper. Not sure what differences there are between the 3rd gen TL's and 7th gen Accords though so removing the bumper might be the only solution.
