Well i had a crack at installing this baby ...Without following the instructions of taking the front bumper off .. (i was tired after work and it was one in the morning) The removal of stock intake was easy enough along with the strut brace. The long intake pipe was fitted with percisi..... problem found already . The intake duct needed to come out but the bumper blocks the way :S. so after asking it nicely to come out, so the snips came out. Its now in the bin, so i grab the pipe and...another problem. i had to find away to put the silicon sleeve on the bend pipe through the gap of the front bumper ( alot of swearing occurs ) so i my mate hold the pipe with the bend attached to the filter and small pipe while i tighten the clamps on the long pipe,and attached the pipe to the throttle body. Finally it was bolted down, maf sensor put in finally checks DONE. Then problem, the bend has a bolt which is suppose to be bolted just behind the bumper, but theirs no way putting this bolt in seeing as my bumper is still on. So i decided to leave it till i fit my coilovers.
I will get better picture once fitted properly, the intake should be sitting horizontal to the bumper, in other works it shouldnt be seen in the grill.
The initial response is a big smile, the noise isnt any louder until you get to about 3,500RPM, and then you can hear the sucking noise, along with the true dual exhaust it sounds nice , decats are next .
So to wrap it up the intake is nice with the crinkle upgrade (black paint). Build quality is as perfect as a intake can be. Fitting is possible without bumper off... but for the love of god just take it off. Remap will come sometime Febuary .Enjoy.
