Nope! I live in PA: potholesl, unpaved roads, brick roads, and speed bumps do not like lowered cars. I tell all them German kids ur gonna bottom out..and what happens? they bottom out lol
Get an intake with an open filter and you'll hear it all the time. Any of the intakes like ETS, AMS, K&N, Injen, etc.

I just don't like the way the OE valve "shushes", I want more of an aggressive dump sound, but the quality of the OE Valve is much better than DSM valves of the past. The stock X valve will hold 25-28psi, where as older ones liked to leak by the time you ran 19-23psi.

Upper and Lower IC pipes are easy to install. You can do it by pulling the bumper cover and leaving the plastic splashguard/aero piece, and just popping the pop rivets off

Can I remove the bumper without jacking the car up or laying it on the ground?

I feel like doing this upgrade in the middle of a Walmart parking lot lol

I think you can do it without jacking up the car, but I'm like 6'2" and 280lbs..so even getting my shoulder under the car doesn't happen unless it's up in the air.

This was when I did my FMIC and LICP install.
