Engine Cover

I'm starting the install of my steeda CAI. However I can't wiggle the engine cover out without removing the strut tower brace. Is there a way? Or should I just remove the brace?

Just remove the brace, nothing wrong with doing that, then put it back after the CAI install.

Yep, what they said, the plastic cover is held in place with 4 rubber grommets on the intake. Brace takes 2 minutes to remove. You'll see what a world of difference it makes with the tune.
Good luck.
