After 5 hours, im done

After an exhausting 5 hours of installing im finally done (i never dissembled a bumper in my life before BTW)

here are some pictures:

after taking the bumper off i got a milk shake to celebrate





i know the shield is uneven but after i took the photo i fixed it.

I took a quick spin after installing and WOW the sound i intense and my butt dyno told me there is an improvement over the stock intake, it pulls harder and through the rpm range, im very pleased.

Update

Place some rubber or foam on the intake pipe next to the wheelwell on the drivers side, there is like a centimeter clearance and it will eventually start banging into the well and making a vibrating sound. Its only on the drivers side

Car would look better with a grounding kit on it.

Nice looking installation. Very clean. Great job.

The bumper is actually not so bad after you get the hang of it and have done it a few times.

Was it really necessary to take the front bumper off? What dremel tool did you use btw?
