Anyways, couldn't find pics but here's a thread with some info on it:LINK

 

No pics tho. Or just look at the instructions. Either way.

This is the method I used to install my Injen CAI:
Rather than pulling off the entire front bumper do the following:
Clean your new intake piping. Remove any metal particles with clean, lint free rags.
Remove the passenger wheel well linger: Remove all push clips/ plastic pins or rivets (whatever these fasteners are called) by inserting a small flat head screwdrive b/n the head and the base of the plastic fastener. Twist the screwdrive to pop up the center part, pull it out and then pull out the base piece. Remove all plastic fasteners in this manner. Remove all bolts/screws in the fenderwell liner (9/32" I think). Note: This cover extends up under the front corner toward the front bumper. Be sure to remove all plastic fasteners and screws. Next, push kinda up and in toward the engine compartment to pull the lip of the liner out of the fender; then just pull it out and set it aside.

Start your car and turn the wheel all the way to the right. You can switch it off now, lol.
To remove the factory intake resonator there is one very long plastic fastener at the rear of the resonator; remove this one just like all of the others. Then using a small ratchet with a 10mm socket you will have to remove one bolt from the front side of the resonator. To do this, insert the ratchet from the bottom of the front side of the resonator; this is where you will look to see what you are doing. Take your right hand and reach in b/n the fender and resonator; reach over the resonator around to where the bolt is. Use the ratchet to remove the bolt. This may be done just by feeling your way around rather than trying to watch it while you do it. Once you get that bolt out, just pull down and the resonator will come right out.

Installing your Injen CAI:
You will want to start by installing the rubber adapter onto the Injen elbow (it's the hardest one to fit). I had a lot of difficulty getting mine on. Microwave a large bowl of water; get the water extremely hot. Be careful removing the water from the microwave b/c if it is actually superheated past the bowling point it can rush up and out of the container if disturbed.
Place the rubber adapter in the water for 3-5 minutes. Remove it and quickly but carefully try to install it onto the elboow. REMEMBER that thing is gonna be really F'in hot!!!!
Now install the elbow with ruber connector onto the TB; don't forget the clamps. Install the straight pipe next and then insert the contorted one. Make sure you are going the right way with the pipe that goes down into the fenderwell. It's kind of confusing and can be forced in the wrong way. Make sure it just goes right in. Bolt down the Vibra-mount. Install the filter throught the fenderwell opening. Mine was really greasy and kept slipping off the pipe everytime I tightened up the clamp. I washed the flange with warm soapy water like 3-4 times to clean it. DO NOT LET SOAPY WATER GET ON YOUR FILTER. Tighten down all of your clamps after checking for fitment and clearances.

Replace the liner with all fasteners and screws; make sure you fit the liner back into the lip of the fender first.

Go for a test drive and then come back and re-check everything. I have a small rub mark on the pipe that goes into the fenderwell. It can move enough to rub up at the top; I'm just going to put a piece of foam pipe insulation over the area of the car where it rubs.

 

heres another pics

 

is there any chance of water getting into the filter?? if so, is there a cover for the filter I can buy??

 

Well, the filter is up as high as possiblein the new location. I was at the beach in a tremendous downpour (visibility was about 10 ft) and the streets were flowing about 2-4" deep I'd guess. I didn't have the first bit of problems. The filter is well protected from tire spray/splash. Remember it can always be converted to an SRI.

Any other ?'s??

does the injen hydra-cover prevent/restrict airflow?
