Here is the much requested Uninstall of OEM Intake & Installation of Cold Air Intake.

I tried to make it as simple as possible to understand.

Before you begin, remove your front bumper. If you haven't already done so here is a DIY video on how to do so. Just Click on Link Below

San Diego- You the man!!

 

All Hail San Diego You are infact the Man! This little video just gave me the confidence needed to install my intake myself.

Thanks!

 

I've bookmarked this. thanks a million! very nice videos.

are you gonna do another video on how to remove the rear bumper as well?

 

I already did

DIY Video: Removing Your Rear Bumper 3G Garage #E-094

And thanks guys! Throttle Body Spacer DIY Video is also on the way soon

 

oops my bad!
thanks for all your help and patience making all these videos.

 

You're my hero.

 

excellent vid, sandiegodrive! that CAI looks familiar Jaron, take some pics.

after watching your front bumper removal vid, I was able to remove the bumper easily. saved me lots of time.

good work!

 

Does the 07 type s not have a factory cold air intake?

Just checking - don't mean to interrupt.

 

I don't think so. Type S owners please confirm.

 

From what I understand it is the same "cold" air intake as the rest of the 3G's

 

Great Vid Sandiegodrive....

 

Thanks guys. I appreciate the support. I'm ordering a throttle body spacer so thats another video on its way soon.

 

How big are the movies? Before you actually upload them?

 

well...that wouldve helped about 3 months ago haha

 

About 50 mb and 65 mb.

 

Awesome. This came just in time. I need to put in a new air filter and thought about paying someone to do it. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get that damn front bumper off. With your video DIY, I have a much more clear direction as to how to do it. Thanks.

 

once again you da man...

 

Do a video for clearing headlights!

 

I have a Type-S so I really don't plan too, but I know people might want to do this. So if they do the mod I'll record.

I've actually had several request for a DIY clearing headlights. I'll try to do some more research and maybe do it with another member who lives near me. So stay tuned.

 

Ok after researching I will do a clearing out headlight and blacking out housing DIY Video.

I'll contact member who I know wants it done to his car. You ask and you shall receive.

 

Fscking AWESOME.

I am posting this on the RL board as removing the OEM intake on the RL is VERY similar.

EDIT: Done. You are the man, sandiegodrive!

 

^^^

I must say, I've watched the "Removing Bumper" and now this vid - great work sandiegodrive

If I only lived near you...I'd be 'donating' my car to you to make these videos, haha.

 

Guess what I'm doing this weekend??? God I love this forum!!! lol...
Thx man...

 

Why did you take off the bumper? I managed to install my AEM CAI without removal of the bumper on my Type S

 

Was it hard to move around in there w/ the bumper on?

 

The first time I ever installed a AEM CAI was on my last 3G TL it was an 05'. It took 3 hours w/ the bumper on

So then I removed my front bumper which takes about 10 minutes and I did it in 55 minutes. Yeah, I found it easier. It was a pain without the bumper off for me.

But props for doing the uninstall and install w/ the bumper on . I've done it and it was a pain.

 

I have the Type-S too but I hate the amber sides.

 

Did you get the engine light on after .Cuz i did .Would love to know how to fis that and why it on .

 

new to this .I own a Type S 07 ,no they don't .I just put mine AEM CAI in today .

 

SDdrive and i did the CAI install in my car (the car in the DIY video). Yes i had the engine light turn on, but after a few hours or so it turned off. SDdrive warned me about that and said that it was normal. i dont think its anything to worry about!

 

I new to this site.Got a 07 TL Type S .Just install a AEM CAI .Went for a drive and the Engine light came on .If you have a solution pls do tell Thankx.

 

Like Jaron said it'll be on for 1 day usually then go away and never come back

I told him that would happen

 

Let me know if you need help Evader, I installed mine myself.........

 

Quick question, i have an AEM CAI. . .i placed th vibration mount up in the engine bay not down by the resonator box, is this the correct placement for the vibration mount for the AEM CAI? I know in this video they use a different intake but anyone with a lil insight could let me know...

I get mad vibrationwhen i shift into reverse with my foot on the brake, the car is stationary. Also i noticed that when i conected the intake to the vibration mount, it somehow pulled the tubing going directly into the engine a little out (maybe 1 cm). I would get a lot of backfiring when it was setup like this(under WOT from 2nd to 3rd), however i disconnected the the part of the intake connecting it to the vibration mount and forced the tubing on very snug and clamped it down well. After this i tried to reproduce the backfire under WOT and it would never happen. The only problem now is that it vibrates, in reverse, if i hit a pretty hard bump...etc its annoying as hell! Any solutions/suggestions?

 

As usual, super thread. Who's your director?

Added to the 3G Garage.

 

I just need to find a place to install it lol. Where I live it's all street parking and don't really want to be taking my bumper off in the middle of the street. The family isn't fond of modding so forget asking them for the space. Hell I got an idea, I'll buy you beer (or whatever your posion might be) for the install help!

 

has anyone figured out why and what made the engine light on?

 

I actually do rememebr the AEM being a little different for the mount. I actually don't have my vibration mount on at all and its fine. If you hit a hard bump that should be the only problem.

 

sandiegodrive,

You are the man,.
I wish someone do the DIY video for RL.
