you don't have to remove the bumpter but it makes it a little easier to work with... it was pretty easy to take the bumpter off.. if i remeber correctly directions to remove the bumper come with the icebox...

I say DIY. I didnt remove the whole bumper, just popped the clips on the drivers side off and pulled it out a little. That was more than enough room to get the job done.

when I had my icebox, it took a solid hour...just cause you want to make sure you have everything secure. I later put on my AEM CAI and it took 30 mins.

there's a panel under the stock airbox location that can be unscrewed and pulled back to gain access to the area behind the bumper where the elbow pipe connects to the comptech intake housing. opening up that panel will also allow you to remove the stock resonator box.
all you have to do is unscrew some of those plastic screws and pull out the clips. You'll see what i mean when you jack up the car and look under the front bumper.

i had mine installed even though i heard it was an easy install. i didnt wanna screw with anything and it was only a $50 install from a reputable shop and they did an excellent job.
