im planning on gettin an AEM cold air intake how hard is it to install without removing the front bumper...is it even possible..a DIY would help thanks

 

from a fellow canadian to another...that topic has been discussed many times...try searching for it...n as for removing the front bumper...i dont think u need to...but it wil make the job xtremely xtremely xtremely easy...just kuz u need to get bhind there...

 

i just installed mine this weekend on my '02 type-s....i didnt remove the bumper...i've heard it makes it easier...i ran into a problem though...i had it all in place and it didnt leave room for the filter...i ended up having to cut the pipe b/c w/o the filter on it the pipe went right up to the back of the fog light...i emailed AEM and they said it was made for models w/o fog lights...kinda strange...but there was no way it was gonna fit other wise....but it works fine......just woundering if anyone else had this problem?....good luck man

 

I installed my a couple of years back and I don't remember any fit problem. I did cut the pipe but that's because I installed a bypass valve. Otherwise, it went smoothly.
