Hey I have an 07 SI Coupe. I just got an Injen CAI. They say I need to remove the front bumper to install it. Is this true? Does anyone have a link to how to do it. Its probably pretty easy. Im trying to get it done in the moring a few hours before I go to work. Please help.

you probably <u>shouldn't</u> do that just to be on the safe side of things...

and it probably isn't "necessary" to remove the bumper, but will definitely make it easier

but it's very simple to take off... where the bumper meets the fender, there is one screw, pop the hood... ther are two bolts that need to be removed with an alan wrench (it's connected from the grill to the radiator support) and then just pop off those annoying little black button things on the under side of the bumper...

 

Don't need to take off the bumper. Suggest not taking it off just for pure safety for your bumper...

 

Yeah, thanks, prob gonna wait until the weekend. I just wanna get it done to see what its like.

I disagree
1-Makes install a whole a lot easier, i would suggest you take the battery and try out also
2- I dont see how you would be able to connect it to the vibramount or put the filter on properly
3- would be extremely difficult to to snake intake with filter into the fender well
4- insturctions require removal

i installed my injen cai u do need to remove the bumper and u need to cut some of the plastic wheel cover thing

 

ohhh wait well u do need to take off to install it on the Si i dont know about the Ex my bad yo

 

Yeah I have an SI. Its all good. I knew I would have to remove the bumper I was just hoping by some chance somebody would send me a link how it could be done. But its all been taken care of. I just have to wait until the weekend and thats gonna suck.

 

Just grab the corner and PULL. Should snap right off!

J/k don't do that!

Might wanna invest in a hydroshield to. Just for those rainy days!

 

Okay sorry didn't read up on it..... in my car.... I didn't have to take off the bumper..... could be different for the Si... sorry 'bout the mix up.

 

Lucky ****. takin off bumper just makes it that much more difficult to change the filter.

 

I just have to go through my wheel well.......

 

Yeah i can see the piping through my wheel well. Don't think i can change the filter through it though!

 

Eh, just gotta push the bumper forward a bit... it'll bend a little bit...

 

Look online for the PDF if foglight installation... it shows in detail how to get the bumper off.

 

when u get it on ur gonna be really happy hahaha when i put mine on i was like dope!....i did it a my friends house and on the drive home i kept on hittin vtec its sound cool
