Putting the CA pipe on this weekend if weather/time permit. So far, $$$ well spent. Next is exhaust if I can choose a good one for a decent price.

is there any way i can get that filter for my 08? or would i be stuck oiling my filter.... im bout to buy an injen intake today. but it says the model number u got is only 09-10.

Call Injen and ask them. I heard they switched all of their intakes over to the blue filter, at least for the tC. Not sure how reliable the source was but just a quick phone call can answer this!

you dont have to take off your bumper. all you have to do is take the wheel and splash guard off.

so I installed the intake but I didn't relocate the ground to the frame. I just kept the ground where it was and put the vibra mount over it. Do you think that's going to cause any issue because I certainly don't notice anything wrong.
