two things...
1. you don't need to remove the front bumper, just the right front wheel and plastic fender underneath
2. yes, that second pipe is a b!&^h.... easy to have one guy pull at the top as someone is pushing/wiggling from the bottom where you are putting it through. and protect it with tape or something or that thing WILL get scratched..

 

grreat write up. i was really looking forward to seeing the pictures you didnt have though because those are the ones that im not so familiar with! im still waiting a lil bit before installing it cuz i dont have anytime..i wish u had taken more pics tho instead of usign the INJEN ones. either way great write up and very helpful

 

What are these issues with the maf sensor, I just purchased this setup and kind of worried installing it? people saying the needed to replace there maf due to clogging any of you guys have this issue?

 

Great write-up! This will be very useful when I put mine on.

 

What does maf stand for? Sorry im a newbie

 

Mass Air Filter

Great write-up...got my Ingen last night, will be installing it tomorrow....along with my exhaust, springs/shocks, rear sway bar, & new rims & Tires...long day but well worth it!

 

Wow, you're going to have a brand new car! =)

I also got mine yesterday, about how long did the install take? I'm guessing 2-4 hours.

 

took me about 1 hour and a half

 

Actually its Mass Air-Flow meter/sensor....with meter dropped cuz MAFM/MAFS is harder to type.

 

I used the instructions on here today along with Injens and everything went perfect. 2 hours i'd say. Very very pleased with the sound and performance. I installed it as short ram.

 

Heres a loq quality pic. Im really stoked on the black over the chrome.

 

I plan on installing mine on Thursday.I will repost install in a new forum since the originator will not post all the pics of the proper install.

 

I couldnt take the bumper off yesterday so i installed it as a SR but i tihnk i did something wrong. It barely fits and I had to force the filter intake then engine bay. Its pushed up agianst the fender so I dont know what went wrong.

 

To do the long ram you don't have to romove the bumper, just the wheel and the inner fender well, thats it. for the short ram. make sure your clamps are not tight before you put the filter on. like at the throttlebody and the intake pipe, also the the vibration damper (the little rubber thing that attaches to the intake.) get that all together give yourself some room at the filter then tighten everything down.

 

thanks for the tip. Im planning on redoing everything next week when I have time and putting it in as CAI.

 

it will take about a half hour to get the CAI part on.

 

If you are just installing the Short Ram, do you still need to take off the front wheel and install the 2nd vibramount dampner?

 

no.

 

Nice job! i should have looked for this post before doing the install last weekend.
