Air filter install

So im a noob at cold air intakes i guess.


Idk how to change the air filter. Im almost positive its the stock piping but how do you change it if you cant see the bottom?

i searched and still no answers someone tell a noob how to change it.

I simply wanna put a K&N air filter over a fram or whatevers in it in it


thanks

Or you can take off the tire and unscrew/pull back the wheel well lining.

yeah but if hes unsure about doing this... jacking up the car and taking the wheel off done improperly can go real bad as opposed to having the headlight be slightly off...

just remember everybody isnt and expert on the lil things that alot of people take advantage of knowing

I work at a tire shop haha and i would do it there but my car is too low to fit on the lifts...

and my jack wont fit either..

Headlight it is. I would have no problem trying to do this on any other car but being my cobalt i dont wanna break something and have to not be able to drive

haha i know alot about cars too damn..

I seem like a super noob lol

apologies everyone
