Lookin good... Nice and Shiny. Although install sounded kinda frustrating I'm sure it's worth it.

Thanks for the right max, and what to look for if installing. Seems like alot of trouble IMO...think I'll wait to see dyno's of the JWT Pop Charger before I decide on which route to go...

Max- You're the best reviewer on the forum. You always provide good info, lots of pic's, and supporting video. Awesome. One question: Are you saying that the installation, and more importantly the filter maintenance, doesn't require removing the bumber??? That was the biggest drawback to me. Actually the install seemed pretty routine for this involved of a mod. Sure the MAF sensor slot was a surprise but I'll bet the folks at Injen are feeling alot of pressure from forum members to get these out. They just slipped up. They'll get it corrected for the rest of us...sorry you had to take the hit, but we appreciate it!

do you think there is a way to put in the fluid sensor with how the injen reservoir sits in the car? I might try to see if I can figure a way to get in on there and reading correctly if so... Do you have a picture of the sensor by chance? My intake is on the way but the more info I have before it gets here the less time till I might have a fix...

you do not have to remove the bumper for install or cleaning...

I am not sure why it was such a question in the first place about the cleaning of the filters... the filters are easy to get to in you have a Jack.

The filters were NEVER shown to be in such a simple place as they were...
there between the wheel well plastic and the fake grilles...

One thing I think many of you are not aware of is that the filters on these things are only going to need to be cleaned or changed like once a year...if that.

Awesome... I am going to look in to this then. Even if Injen can not come up with a solution then I will look in to finding one... As long as there is room I am sure I can make a solution for all of us

Dayum 6 hours??? After reading this I think it would be faster to remove the bumper rather than take off the wheels... That's how the R&D guys would install it and it would only take them about 45 minutes for the install (working solo too). Sometimes even 35 minutes between test runs on the dyno... It only took'em about ten minutes to remove the bumper... And once the bumper is off, it would be easier to install the new Washer Bottle too IMO... Congrats though Ben ENJOY!!!

I disagree... Its faster without taking off the bumper... especailly since 90% of buyers are not Injen R&D department...

and the 6hrs was because I have to Fix a messed up intake tube... that alone took 2 hrs ...I spent 1.5 hrs trying to get someone on the phone....
