Default Just got done installing my...

Injen Cold Air Intake.
WOW. this thing ROCKS!!! took me under an hour. did not have to take of the front bumper. did though have to take off the wheel and peel back the splash gaurd. I cant really tell if i got any power gain but I think I accelerate a little faster. LOVE the sound. I got the black and like the look of it alot better then my buddys silver one. If youve read any of the DIY you know you will scratch it and dang it.. I did. tried sooo hard not to. I would deffinantly reccomend buying this intake. It was VERY easy to install. If anyone tells me they got their Injen CAI intake installed by a dealer.. they shouldnt be driving a tC. This thing was a snap, litterally all I needed (tool wise) was a phillips, a flat head, a 10mm and some needle nose pliers. If anyone has any questions send me a PM. and if youre considering getting this intake, DO IT. I got mine from one of the site sponsors Hopupracing.com for 240 (08 black)

I, too, love my black Injen CAI.
I, too, found the install to be very easy.
I, too, noticed a slight power gain.
I, too, scratched it.

i like mine too. except it's been on my car for too long to remember if i got a gain. but, i didn't scratch mine. i used a sock to protect the part that goes into the fender. i know no one can see it, but i just felt wrong scratching shiny metal.

I hardly felt any gains when my injen was in CAI mode, just a louder whistle and slower throttle response. So I converted it to SRI mode, faster throttle response :D
