Approved. Nice write up!

 

i think you can also just remove the passenger side headlight and headlight bracket to get to the snorkel. i dont remember exactly, i did it when i swapped my intercooler.

 

Never thought about that, I just didnt know how many bolts were holding it in and where they were placed.

This was my first time ever doing it.
