Yes but you only get the max gains they claim if you do cut the radiator support, so now your back to the same as Stillen G3. I went G3, enough people have them with no issues and your only trimming a very minor portion of the support that wouldn't even be noticeable if you went back to Oem.

This.
This was my issue when I was looking for an intake. Removing the bumper is fast and easy. The cutting/trimming was very easy as well. I used a small dremel tool to cut and you only remove so much of the support. I like how the intake sits as well- behind the bumper. Gives the inside a more cleaner look imo. You can also hear the air being sucked in, into the intake.. Sort of like air going through a metal piping. Just had to zip tie some areas near the filters so there would be no shaking and rattling.
+1 on the G3. Smog legal as well if it suits you.

I prefer the Nismo R-Tune intakes over the ones listed. They look fantastic and seeing the word Nismo in my engine bay makes me that much more happy. No cutting required either just a bit of drilling to relocate the windshield washer reservoir.
