If its like the hyperflow kit then just undo and pull back the arch liner that covers the front inner wing/bumper. Its something like 6 trim buttons only that need taking off.
The car will also need raising to drop the front wheel down and out the way, but the wheel can stay on.
This should give enough room to get the resonator out and allow the CAI pipework to be rotated into the right position.

I would advise you take it very easy until the car is mapped for the kit. The aps can make a big difference to the air flow and certainly can cause an incorrect maf reading leading to a lean mixture> it doesnt always happen but there is some risk involved

Make sure the MAF is rescaled after you've fitted it. The increased airflow will make it run very lean and cause DET if not done
