This is by no means complete but I thought I'd take a few pics as I went along while I installed my Mugen Intake yesterday.
Bear in mind, I managed to do this without having to remove the bumper.
I've circled the places where either M10 bolts were removed or needed for the install but may have missed a couple due either forgetting or not being able to get a good shot with my camera.
Remove Oem Airbox
Car has been jacked up on drivers side only to gain better access and to give enough room to pull out resonator.
Free plastic splash guards
Splash guards free
Resonator held in with 2 x M10 Bolts. This is one of them.
After removing the other, resonator pulled out but needs coaxing due to the awkward shape.
Mugen airbox fixed in place
Filter fitted
End of filter fixed and circlip tightened
Trumpet end fitted and held in place with Duct tape.
I chose to point end down slightly so no water can reside in the end should some drip in there
Airbox cover fitted
I was suprised how heavy the oem airbox and resonator are in comparison to the Mugen.
Stored a little posidrive screwdriver in with the jack in case I ever encounter a lake in the middle of the road. i can then just unscrew the airbox cover without the fear of sucking water into the engine.
