5th gen intake question right quick
Im getting an AEM short ram for my 94 accord, and i know how everyone says the installation is extremely simple but i have a few questions. After looking at my stock intake close up, it only looks as if it is being held on my the main bracket on the intake manifold, and a bolt or two down on the other end at the filter bos. Is that right? Also, it only looks like there is that one hose that actually goes into the intake (from the top of the engine). Are there any other hidden hoses that might suprise me? or what about my IAC sensor? Will i have to mess with that? (the reason i ask about the IAC sensor is because i saw that civics actually have theirs plugged into the intake itself). I know this is alot of questions for such an easy job, i just don't want to be suprised to find other hoses and crap that i won't know what to do with....

Nope no problems whatsoever.
If you are going to take out the entire air box it is a little tricky because there are two bolts (if I remember right) on the under side.
These can be accesed by putting the car up in the air a bit and grabbing a socket with long extension...then feel your way around up there and you will find the bolts.
Most people say you have to remove the bumper but that is not the case at all instead just peel the fender liner back a little and you can reach it all pretty easily.
Oh yeah remember to re-attach the fender liner completely...I think almost everyone at some point has jumped in and forgotten that and ended up ripping the fender liner
