    pretty much what killer said.
    1. start by removing the MAF sensor (connected to the air box) and i'm pretty sure the new ones have a vacuum line to, so loosen that.
    2. loosen the clamp attatched to the intake manifold and the one attached to the air box. make sure you save the clamp attached to the manifold...you'll probably need to reuse that one
    3. pull the tube off the manifold and air box, and it should come out. you might have to give it a pretty good pull before it comes off, but it'll work
    4. pull off the top of the airbox and pull out the air filter.
    5. there should be 3 bolts holding the air box down (there were in my 93...should be pretty similar). loosen all three of those bolts. *NOTE* you'll probably need a 6" ratchet extension to get them out.
    6. there's a group of wires that's attached to the side of the bottom half of the air box (at least there were on the 93). just pull up on the plastic clip holding them down and it'll pop out.
    7. pull out the bottom half of the air box.

    your old system should be totally out now. i left the original piping leading to the air box in so the new system would get cooler air. if you want to replace this with PVC or something, feel free.

    now to put the new intake in...
    1. attach the filter to the pipe. just slide the rubber reducer over the pipe and tighten both clamps.
    2. tighten the other reducer around the end of the new pipe near the intake manifold.
    3. using the clamp that attached the old pipe to the manifold, attach the new intake to the manifold. make sure all clamps are very tight.
    4. slide the MAF sensor into its hole and attach the vacuum line and you should be all set.

    any questions, feel free to im me...jmz250 on AIM

    Its easy. Just follow all the rubber and plastic shit attached to the origional intake, remove it. Then put the new one on, just put the rubber peice around the engine intake and clamp it down, then attach the filter to the other end and clamp it.

    when your installing yer RAI disconect the battery... this way when you get it done the ECU would be reset and your car will adjust to your new intake.

    got my intake this morning and installed it right away... my car sound 110% better now... it gives the car a nicer deeper tone and a kinda wizzz when it changes gear...

    Instalation was pretty strait foward... the bomz racing intake brought some instructions witch take you through the whole process...

    I only have one question for any of you guys that have 01-02 and have a RAI or CAI i guess its the same situation... besides the MAF sensor cable theres another smaller one conected near the O2 hose of the stock air intake box... my RAI does not bring this port like it brought the MAF sensor port... so i just let it loose and no problems until now but what exactly is this cable and what should i do with it??

    just leave the vaccum sensor lying around or zip tie it somewhere... you conect the blue hose the the vacuum port that was conected to the stock intake box
