Why would you need a jack to install a CAI? Do you really need a jack to uninstall a bumper?

Is your screw driver short enough to stand upright under the bumper ?

The 2.5k is per HKS.

Thanks. I’ve used foam filters before. Rinse in some gasoline, squeeze, add motor oil, squeeze, reinstall. I’ve never had a foam filter fall apart.

the AEM you need to jack the car up to get under the wheel well...
Injen is the one you need to take off the bumper for...
AEM's filter is protected by the left wheel well... thus making it less prone to water...

From the picture, it looks like the filter is off to the right and accessible from the top/hood similar to the JWT PopCharger. Wouldn't this have the same [injecting hot air] issues that the JWT has? Though I suppose both would be easy to clean/change filters on?

i miss my VQ sound..

I had the JWT Popcharger, Alpha Werxs Headers, and Nismo Catback Exhaust system installed and i love it. The sound is not much different then stock, but with a slightly lower tone to it. It actully sound pretty mild below 3000 rpm's but if opened up, she'll sing great music to you. I love the sound of the Nismo Exhaust. Not sure what kind of exhaust system that you have, but maybe Nismo might be something that you should look into if you still crave that factory VQ sound.

Anybody can point me to where I can get a diverter valve for my AEM CAI? Haven't been able to find any.

Lol Jvanquish. The swoosh sound is so loud in my car that my cousin got rid of his injen for a popcharger-style filter for his CL type S. Its the shape fo the filter that does that not wherei ts placed.
