New Jersey finally released my intake that was being held hostage for a few days. Thanks PMP. I took a look at what needed to be done and decided I would do it without removing the bumper. I installed the intake and a stillen grill in a little over 2 hours. The areas where the bumper removal looks necessary are removing the air inlet on the radiator support and the splash guard behind the grill. I was able to bend the air inlet easily enough to work it out. The splash guard is held on with 3 plastic clips that can be accessed by pulling the guard out and getting a flat head screw driver behind it. I agree with most people who say injen's instructions kind of suck. They do. They look like they were generated on a 1980's rexograph machine.

Impressions. It DEFINITELY makes a noticable difference. I have no dyno available but my butt dyno tells me that their HP claims me be pretty accurate. There is a bit of a noise, kind of like a reverse blow off, when you first hit the gas. I like sounds so I'm fine with that.

 

Post some pictures.

 

Gotta wash the car first! Gimme an hour or so...

 

Thanks for your impresson of the intake. You're the first to do so. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

I am curious as to how the Stillen grill will look on your car as well.

Thanks Zaphod for the post I was able to install my intake without removing the bumper also, the hardest part was putting the one of the plastic clip in to hold the cone in place.
