Default Do you have to remove your bumper for a GruppeM Intake install?

Im assuming its a MUST but I was wondering if I can just take out the wheelwell fender guards out and install the parts into place?

Any thoughts as Im excited about installing this intake but hate the idea of taking off my week old bumper

That's what I have read on their instructions and from other people who have installed it. At least the bumper is easy to take off.

If your would have done a search, you would of found the answer to your question. It's a pretty easy intstall, and you need to take out the bumper to install the ram air.

Here's the link:

Not sure if I left a link to take out the bumper, but do a search on that.

Thanks!
