JUST Received Injen CAI, any suggestions or Tips on INSTALL?? I am going to put it on this weekend. Any help would be great, thanks a lot ,

 

Don't remove the bumper!!! its not necessary. Just remove 10 or so 10Mm screw to remove the under cover. You do however have to remove 3 plastic screw taps to remove the factory ram which is attached to the factory filter box. Its little tricky but you can do it without destrying anything. Also, don't tighten anything until you have everything aligned, especially wher the header meets the CAI and there after. Let me know if you have specific question. I did mine last night and took only 2 hours.

 

zonester:
Did you have to elevate the car somehow on jacks or something?
Is the removal of the stock ram air reversable (can you put it back), or is it ruined?

 

If u want to do it right rip off the front bumper it is so much easier and there are no holes in the head. Not saying u can't do it without takin the front bumper off it is just easier takin it off and everything will go on cleaner. Its ur call though. Besides that everything is basic.

 

What do you mean "no holes in the head". Also, do you know if you have to lift the car using jack or a ramp or something?

 

what i meant is that it wont be such a pain in the a**. You dont even have to lift the car i mean there are some pain in the *** bolts you have to get to but nothin to bad. Your not to far from me if u would want to take a drive down to me i will take care of it at my shop.

 

Gesh...what a pain in the *** for just an intake! I guess the G35's will be the same. Oh well. Anyone have injen's website handy? Good luck with your install!

 

FLYIN Z: Thanks for the offer. We ARE somewhat close. I'll keep your offer in mind if I can ever make up my mind on whether the CAI is actually better than the stock cold ram.
