Mugen CAI installed pictures/advice needed

[PhucYu00]

Hey guys,
I'm ready to install my Mugen intake I purchased and I'm basically lost on how it should be installed without damaging the part. Can anyone post pictures of where the pieces mount to and some advice on how to move the a/c lines...Also, can I keep the bracket that the a/c lines mount to, or do I remove it and let the lines dangle? I spent waaaaay too much money on this to break it during install.

thanks

Without having the car or a camera right in front of me I can tell you that you'll be okay. You'll have an easier time if you have a friend help you out with gently pushing the AC lines back with a big prybar while you fandangle the housing into place.

You'll have to take off your passenger fender liner (I think I might of removed the wheel too, can't remember) and I remember taking off the transmission torque mount (but put it back on of course).

Everyone has a different way but it's extremely easy if you unbolt the radiator stays and move the rad over towards the driverside a few inches and take of the passenger side front tow hook. Spread the a/c lines and it will almost slide right in. Once you get the hang of it you can easily do it in a few minutes.

Some pull fender liner, some pull front bumper, some move radiator... there are TONs of ways to do it.

Just take your time,when you get it just right, at the right angle with the right twist she will fall right in.

Does your car have AC? If so, the lines will bend a LOT farther than you would expect without breaking.

My car has it currently UNinstalled, so if need be I can take pics for reference.

Thanks guys..moving the rad/res. and bending the a/c lines created much more room!

Any installed pics? Thoughts after install?
