Using this Injen cold air intake is easy. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and cooled down. Locate the original air intake system in your 1997 - 1998 or 2000 - 2001 Acura Integra Type R and carefully remove it. Then, install the new Injen RD Series cold air intake following the included instructions. Once installed, start your car and enjoy the improved performance and the cool sound. As for maintenance, check the Injen SuperNano - Web dry air filter regularly. If it looks dirty, you can clean it according to the filter's cleaning guidelines. This will keep the airflow efficient. Also, make sure to keep an eye on the intake tube for any signs of damage. If you notice anything wrong, contact Injen's customer service. Remember, this intake comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so use it with confidence.
