Thanx Ill_eagle for the wheel removal tip!! The whole process took me a little over an hour and a half. I'm kind of a big guy so it was hard to snake around and get at some of the bolts and stuff for the ducting system.

All i can say is DAMN! This thing sounds unreal! Powerwise I'm not sure as all I really did was run it around town adn disturb the peace for about 10 minutes. I'll take it out on the highway later today and romp on it a little.
 
Ok so my roommate adn I took it out real quick and ran the ole butt dyno. We're very impressed with the increase we felt. Worse part overall was getting that thickass peice of hose they give you to fit over the nozzle....damnit.
 
I just installed my CAI yesterday, and I must say that all I read about on the forums did not prepare me for how great an improvement it is. It's definitely worth every penny.

When I installed mine, I took off the bumper instead of the wheel which worked well. I still jacked it up to allow easier access to the under carriage bolts.
 
I was a little nerved up about trying to line up the bumper again. The mechanical aspect of it wasn't a big deal to me but I very much dislike attempting body work like that. How do you like the shifter bushing mod? I REALLY need to fix the slack in my stock shifter and $200+ for an aftermarket one is kind of pushing it.
 
Shifter bushings are nice. Only $25 plus shipping straight from TWM and they have excellent customer service. Give it a shot, you won't be out much if it's not enough for you.

The bumper lined up really easily. It snaps into place and then you screw it in. No fiddling with alignment or anything like that.
 
Sorry for the quality being a bit weak. My cell is the only camera I have at the moment.

Glad I could help man!

Remember to put back on the plastic shroud around the intercooler. It helps keep the air flowing through the intercooler, instead of around the sides.
