Finally after 11 days in transit my goodies got here today. The clears got here quick but the intake took forever. Thanks PMP and Yuichi, you guys were great

Install was SO easy. I think maybe some people are over reactingn about the complexity of removing the front end. It took MAYBE 30 min total to take off the front and install the clears. You really DONT need to take it off, but I just wanted to see how long it would take.

As far as installing the INJEN. YOU WILL NOT NEED TO TAKE OFF THE BUMPER TO CHANGE THE FILTER Just remove the 8+ bolts on teh bottom of the car that hold the front of the plastic on. Pull it down and you have PLENTY of access to the filter.

See, dont fret

 

I am glad to hear it wasn't that hard or time consuming. I got my first oil change as well as the Ingen CAI install planned for tomorrow.

 

So you don't have to take it off for filter cleaning, but for the install it'll have to be removed?

TIA

 

Im pretty sure you NEED to take the bumper off so its easy enough to feed the pipe through. But when you clean the filter there is NO NEED to access the pipe routing.

 

So does the engine sound different with the intake installed?

Do you feel any increase in performance (I know any increase will be small but I have to ask)
