unbolt the two bolts on the stock heat shield above the exhaust manifold. place the injen shield so the holes line up (they do) and reinstall the bolts. The back bolt is a bit of a pain, but use patience young grasshopper.

Just keep repeating in your head "it's only a friggin intake! it's only a friggin intake! it's only a friggin intake! it's only a friggin intake!"

that was the worst part of the install for me. It took an hour because i couldn't get my wrench to move more than a millimeter each turn; very tight work space. You just kinda have to make it work. And the worst part is that I did it in the dark.

Besides, the instructions from Injen suck major ****.

Yeah i know what you mean. It reminded me to a smaller scale of when I did the downpipes on my S4. Holy crap what a pain in the ***!! Just barely enough room to get a wrench up there and then you can move it about a half inch. You know what it's like trying to untorque a nut that is fused to the turbo??!!
