Noticed that "officially" the Injen CAI (SP1686P or SP1686BLK) works or was tested for the 2013 model. Before I purchase, I just want to make sure that there wont be any issues with my 2015 model.

I have contacted Injen directly, and they said they haven't tested my model yet, so they cant tell me with 100% certainty I wont have any issues.

Thanks in advance.

To my knowledge Honda hasn't made any engine/powertrain changes, or intake changes in the newer model years. It should fit perfectly. I kind of regretted purchasing the CAI after I saw how easy the installation of the SRI was, but with tunes being released this year I think there is more potential with a CAI than a SRI. I'd recommend it!

FYI, the easy way to clean the filter is to remove the fog light, loosen the clamp, then I think I was able to pull it through the fog light area, if not I just loosened a few bumper clips and found a spot to pull it through there. A lot easier than taking off the bumper to clean the filter!

Thanks i'm itching to buy one as soon as the cold weather eases up here in NJ. I have an Injen CAI in my TSX and put one in my RSX. I have always personally preferred them to SRI, as I feel they pull a little better. And yes I am very aware of how much more work goes into the installation of a CAI :( But I enjoy doing the work, and then afterword's reap the benefits.
 
Anyone have a how-to install video of this by chance? Or perhaps just instructions with pictures?

Thanks in advance!
They come with instructions with pictures and everything. You can download the instructions as a PDF from the Injen website.

Thanks for this. I'll be trying this out in the next few weeks when I change mine.
I was thinking that I may be able to pull back those rubber-ish flaps under the bumper, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I haven't checked yet.

I cleaned mine out with compressed air a couple weeks ago. You will need to pull it through the bottom plastic cover, which requires some of the plastic clips.

I was able to clean mine with compressed air by removing the fog light and maneuvering the filter around.
