Okay guys I got the Injen intake & Upper IC pipe it is a very well made peice... However I was looking for some tips on the install... The directions show the front bumper removed? Do you really need to remove the bumper?

Anyone that has installed this piece please let me know...

Thanks, CHRIS

 

Removing the front bumper is easy and it will make your job easier too.

 

You can do it by just removing the undertray if you don't want to take off the bumper.

 

taking off under tray is harder than taking off the bumper. you can take off your bumper in 10 mins

 

+1. F' that undertray.

 

Is there are DIY on removing the bumper? I know I've seen it around but not 100% sure where....

 

it's in the how to's section

unless you have a lift don't make it harder for yourself. Take off your bumper its easy.

 

o, its possible to install the whole thing on the evo, without taking off the bumper or undertray... i should know, i did it! lol... im a ****ing hardhead when it comes to my car, and i (short of a new intercooler), flat out refuse to remove the bumper...as i was scared id **** it up, lol...luckily, my undertray is cracked all to hell, so i just bent it a little, popped the hose off (pain in the *** btw), and boom, done....

now its not that easy, as it took me 2 hours because, like i said, im stubborn, and didnt want to jack the car up either, lol... but yea... u can do it

 

the front bumper is one of the easiest things to take off the car.
