take off the front bumper.
you'll see the resonator.
remove the piping

 

when u say piping?
…u kno im slow wid this stuff lol

 

you know, we have a DIY in the 3Ggarage....

 

Once you get in there it is very simple. And yes, the writeup that has been done is excellent.

 

not sure if this'll help you but here is the OEM intake all taken apart.

the box is on the top right.

 

if one of u guys shows me whats comming out from the pic above that would be great and thanks u guys ..its usally u 3 that help me the most thanks

 

You're going to end up removing the parts circled in red and blue. Then, you can re-use the parts that are circled in blue by attaching them where the green arrow is pointing. Nevermind the bolts I wasn't really intending to circle any of those. And actually, I don't recognize the part that the green arrow goes over top of.

 

omg thanks so much this is so helpful im gonna start now but like I said im at work so it might take a bit but ill do my best thanks

 

 

hey if you are doing this right now can you do me a favor and see if it's possible to reach the HID bulb from underneath the car. I mean, if the car is lifted up, can I stick my hand behind the bumper and get to it to change it. I don't feel like taking off the lining from inside the wheels well because my a-spec lip is nice and tightly bolted in there and I am scared it won't be like that when I reattach it all back.

 

I think ur talkin about the headlights and no u cant reach it

 

ok I did remove it very easily no more than 10 mins not counting the back and fort wid my job ,,, I didnt put bak the bumper on yet but did turn the car on to see if I can notice difference but so far havent =/ …so ill put the bumper bak on and maybe ill notice it then

 

damn only 10 mins? whats your secret?

you'll only notice a difference when you punch it.

 

"Smoke em"

 

Honestly I don't really notice a difference. MAYBE in the upper RPM at WOT but not a very obvious difference like I have noticed on other vehicles. Maybe a K&N drop in filter is in order as well.

 

damn justin you suck at posting pics.

 

its only cuz im grabbing them from google images. they must be hotlinked!!!!!

 

I'm on the iPhone right mow so I'll be quick . It only took ten mins because I only took one screw off and the rest was brute force , and no I didn't break it , and I found out how it only sounds better when u push it . Thanks for ur help do any of u kno how much it should cause to paint the front of my car (2 fenders,hood,bumper and lip ) because I got two shops prices and it was 1100 and 850 for all ..
