Well, i just got my 97 camaro so I'm very new to what goes where in the engine etc.. well i just bought a K&N air filter, and i get home to install it and replace the old filter and, call me dumb, but i can't figure out how to open the box. There are two clips on the top that hold the housing unit together... and once i unclip them the box doesnt open.. more or less it splits open and there isn't enough room to pull the old one out. do i have to take the whole entire air intake out(i'm sure there's an easier way). i think there may be other clips but non that are visible. ive researched it but cant find step by step pictures or videos? Anyone can help out? i dont want to break any pieces, so im trying the intelligent way lol. thanks alot.

Heres a link to the picture i took that shows the top of the housing unit, since i cant put an attachment http://tinypic.com/r/dpda1t/7


Much Appreciated

 

Okay that box you have to pull out as a whole then split it open.

 

okay, well theres that intake hose with the clamp.. do i have to unclamp that and take it off? i'd imagine it's all common sense after that lol

 

I usually unscrew the clamp at the throttle body and wiggle it out. It's easier than messing with that other clamp. Clean your throttle body while you're at it.

 

use starting fluid to clean the TB it works real good
