Before buying the injen CAI, i looked at the direction online, and it says PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Those who have the Injen CAI, did you install it yourself or get a technician to? Also, do you recommend buying the hydroshield for it too? Thanks a lot

No you can do it... take the drivers side wheel off, remove the fender shroud (wheel well covers) and wallah it's all open...

Should take no more than an hour or so!

i dont have the 2.0 but there are Many people on here who have it and installed it themselves and i would recommend the hydro shield.

Dude a 12 year old can do it.Dont cut your self short its real easy. Also dont listen to the instructions ,it tells you that you have to remove the front bumper.Thats bull ****.

just remember that the rubber screw thingy is gonna be a BITCH to get all the way on that's technically the only hard part oh and don't lose any parts

Either way works. I took the wheel off and removed the fender lining as well.

headlight is the easiest way. hydro shield isnt needed but if your car is lowered or sometimes have high water in your area u might wanna get one. but if ur gonna use your car for a boat ur gonna have problems anyway...

I've got an 07 and I just installed it last weekend with no problems whatsoever just make sure you do put the included vinyl trim on, around the mounting hole. If you are buying it get it from TTR they have the best customer service and I got mine within a couple days. Hope this helps!

sscobalt205

yeah i'm thinking about buying it from there, but i wanna get the hydro shield and ive only seen it at injenairintakes.com. with that its like 275 and from TTR it would cost me 245 without it.

TTR sells it also just go under air management its $29.99 so itll be like $275 Shipped but its well worth it. Try to pm Aaron and see what kind of deal you can get, they have something going on!

im putting my intake on in 5 minutes, what im gonna do is remove the driver side wheel, remove the fender lining and the headlight and put it in, is that the best way?

stew_pidaso59

i did mine by removing wheel and only partially removing the fender well skirt. I removed all the front screws and bottom ones and then bent the skirt back behind the rotor and it stayed there and was really really alot easier to get back on after install.... great how to written up on it. dont follow instructions that come with it use the how to thats in this forum.

sorry to brin back an old post, but you can take the headlight off and do it with out taking the wheel off?
