AEM Cold Air Intake Install

[Shinklemazda]

So I have heard that it is a pain to install a cold air intake on a 2.2 setup. You have to remove the bumper? That sounds like ****. Have one on order, thinking about doing install DIY, the easy way. Any suggestions?

u dont have to remve the bumper. you just need to take out your passenger headlight. its the easiest bolt on of them all. just take your time and read the directions. I did mine in about 30 mins with basic hand tools

yeah, you have to remove the passenger side front grill. Well, you don't really have to but it makes things easier. I just installed mine(I have a 05 LS coupe) a couple days ago.
