RE: CAI INSTALLING. .HELP
what kind of CAI is it?
most CAIs for civics go down into the left wheel well (when you're looking at it fromt he engine bay). it usually comes in two pipes. the longer one goes from the throttle body to above the left wheel well. then the shorter pipe goes down from it and is near the well.
