I think the main reason people get these is so they can avoid taking the bumper off, and for the gains you get, which are very close to CAI gains once other mods are added (exhaust...), they are so close that it doesn't warrant paying an additional $400 for the CAI...
well it's what? Around 20 whp gain from the G3's? 10-14 hp is a pretty big jump... I agree however that it is quite expensive and taking the bumper off is just something i'm not interested in doing. Without seeing the G3... is there a way it can go on without removing the bumper?

No, but removing it is easy.

yeah, it wasn't bad with my Evo X either honestly... but once it's off, it never seems to go back on quite the same.

I havent heard 20 whp from the g3's, more like 12-14 from what ive seen, and thats before other exhaust components are added. Once those are put on, i believe those numbers shrink...
