you can just turn the steering wheel all the way and you won't have to take off the wheel or the bumper.

Remove the entire stock intake. Then bolt intake piping to tb with the aem coupler. Then jack up the car, go underneath the car and place the filter on the end of the piping. You shouldn't have to take off any bumpers or fenders. However, you may have to take off the fender liner and then reinstall it.

remove the rim, it'll make work alot easier. the resonator is held up by 2 or 3 bolts i believe i can't remeber. It's pretty simple once you get started

I never needed to remove the rim but it does make it a lot easier. A stock jack is also enough to lift the car high enough.

this is not a mod that takes skill. just sit there and figure it out its not that hard. u gotta remove (unbolt) some of the fender well and fold it out to get to the big white box i call it (resonator) and there should be like ~3 bolts that holds that box in place. Take them out and if the box can jiggle and move around but feels like it wont slide out then you probly missed a bolt and try to locate it. i remember there was one that was hidden pretty well. Once you remove that one the box should almost fall out and then you have to manuever it out of the fender well.

He said it pretty well. I just used the stock scissor jack and lifted up the front. Removed the front right wheel. I then pulled the fender lining out of the way. It is pretty straightforward from there on. Basically pull out everything connected to the stock intake. Probably 10 bolts total. Just rip out everything and the CAI is very easy to install from there. A lot less ****.

Hope this helps
