It's pretty easy, and once you realize how the bumper actually attaches to the car you'll realize that it's really more of a fascia... Go for it!

That combo will net you 5-8whp at the most.

After factoring in all the heat soak that the short rams will be susceptible to, the gains should be around the same for half the cost. Although it won't sound as cool.

No, it's more than that...



Assume another 3-4 with the tubes.

I don't like to assume, from what others have reported with just filter/tube has been 5-8whp.

Probably have to read thru the gazillion pages on the thread above. Sorry I do not know. I started reading the thread a long time and never finished it. Maybe post the question on that thread for a quick reponse.

This is not the case if you plan on adding any other breathing mods. The dyno's ive seen for the tubes and filters are around 8 - 10 AFTER adding exhaust and other things... Thats right around where the stillens would be after breathing mods...

Remember, manufacturer claims are for the Intakes with no other modifications and once you add them, those claims diminish...

past 7000rpm yea

If you plan on doing a bunch of other breather mods (exhaust, cats) you'll probably get minimal gains with any intake solution.
You'll have to remove the bumper yearly.
