I want to get an Injen CAI asap. Can i install it myself or is it too difficult. I have read that you need to take off your bumper to install it. I hope not. Some one give me some info on installing this intake please! Thank you

You should be able to do it no problem. Yes, bumper off is a must. And even better if you remove or loosen part of the splash guard in the wheel well. It's really not difficult though. Check the Tech Section here (click Features -> Tech)... I know there is at least one DIY in there for the install. Plus the instructions that come with it aren't bad.

I just removed the wheel, pulled back the wheel well liner and poped out a couple bolts on the side of the bumper and under side splash guard.

Yeah I followed the DIY from this site. But I didn't take the bumper off. I just pulled the wheel well liner back and worked with the space. Just be careful not scratching the pipes. Over all it's pretty simple took about 45mins.

I got mine used with a pre scratched pipe. Took the bumper off and peeled back the wheel well. Turned the left front tire all the way left. In retrospect it wouldve been tons easier if if taken that left front tire off. It took a lot of time wrestling in the room that was taken up by the wheel. Easy mod though
