I’m trying to install the intake and when I get to the part on their “how to” that says to remove the “loom” from the airbox, I don’t understand how to do that when the loom is zip tied to the stock airbox. Can someone show me a video of this? Every video I’ve seen they skip over this part and eventuri doesn’t really show you how to do it either.
Need help installing eventuri intake

The loom has clips that are zip tied to it. Those clips slide onto tabs around the air box. You may have to pry those clips open a little because they are designed to push in and bit against the tabs.
In my experience, it's a bit of a squeeze but get rid of the rubber coupler/hose going to the throttle body.
This will give you room once you undo some bolts, or split the air filter housing to move things and you can get a bit of wiggle room, as you unclip each of the loom fixtures you'll get more and more room.
The airbox itself can be a bit of a game to get out itself. There are probably a few other things you could remove/loosen to make it easier.

Sorry don’t have a picture as my car is at my garage now but it’s the black rope that is ziptied around the airbox. So basically I just use brute force on the plastic clips and pry it off?

When you say “unclip”, are you meaning that you just pry the plastic part off with a flat head screwdriver? Is it the same as taking off the MAF sensor? From what it looked like when I was in the engine bay the loom piece seemed like you need to take the zip ties off to remove the plastic pieces but it seems like that’s not the case?
The plastic “clip” is just a housing for a metal u-clip that bites onto the tabs. If they are loose enough they come out when you pull. If not, you need to open them up a bit by prying against the metal clip inside of the housing.

I have found the installation instructions are a bit different on my 2025 Emira. For example, the loom referenced is attached to the backside of the airbox on my 2025 Emira, not as Indiacated on the instruction photos. Not a big deal, but I discovered this when I finally removed the airbox assembly. There was also a point on installation of the mounting bracket for the new Eventuri unit that definitely required 2 people. It involves the installation of a nut and bolt that are so hard to reach that you cannot do this solo. I had to wait for a fiend to assist to make sure it was per spec. It is very awkward given it is hard to reach many parts during removal and installations. They indicate 1-1/2 to 2 hours for the install, but it took me closer to 4 hours to complete. It was not an easy process, but I am happy with the result. Again, just my experience, hope those more experienced than I could do this in less time.
It's interesting that they changed the loom location for the 2025 model year. If you climb into the trunk and work from there, it's easier. You'll have to remove and reinstall the unit every time you clean the air filter.
