A buddy of mine dented his hood with the Injen pipe, but that was really more his fault than the pipe. I personally have had no issues with denting my hood. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that the majority of people with the Injen pipes have had no issues in those regards.

nope, fits perfect and you can still do oil changes with out moving the pipe.

I would recommend at least 1 2.5" coupler and all 6 tbolt clamps though.

I got all new couplers for mine and all tbolt clamps:
2 x 2.0" tbolt clamps
4 x 2.5" tbolt clamps
1 x 2.0" coupler
2 x 2.5" coupler
from silicone intakes

I concur, but I think he meant 4) 2.5" clamps, not 3.5" ^^^^^^^^

I heard some people on here saying that it has dented their hood, but some of them said all they had to do was reposition it

I don't see how it could dent a hood if you mount everything properly (which isn't very hard).

Love my Injen CP's.

I have it in black, but it looks more like a dark charcoal with metallic flake.

Ok I guess I'm not the only one. Only problem is when i go to a vendor's site and look at t he injen CP it's gloss black just like the HAHN CAI. I hate the way it looks next to the HAHN CAI lol. I might end up heat wrapping it though anyway.

Sell me? Lol Looking at buying one either today or tomorrow. So I can install by the weekend. I was going to go with HAHN, but to overpriced. CIA looks nice but also overpriced when comparing good brands such as MPx, OTTP, and ZZP. So now for me its one of the 3 :s. Doesn't seem to be to much of a difference between any of them.
