Using this intake system is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is a 2017 - 2022 Honda CR - V 1.5T. You don't need to calibrate the ECU, so installation can be done easily. Just replace the old corrugated factory inlet hose with the 4 - ply silicone hose included in the kit and insert the high - flow air filter. As for maintenance, regularly check the air filter. If it looks dirty, you can clean it with an appropriate air filter cleaner and re - oil it. Keep an eye on the silicone hose for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, replace the parts promptly to keep your intake system performing at its best.
