Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior need help guys...

hey everyone...well i finally got me AEM CAI in...but heres the trouble...installing it...do you really have to take off your front bumper to install it? i dont want to and i cant really because i dont kno how...and that i dont have the proper equipment to...if anyone has installed a cai system without removing the front bumper please reply because i really dont kno if its possible or not...thanx guys

u dont need to remove ur front bumper..just cut a portion of the engine plastic near your driver's side tire..try to measure your cone filter so you'll know how big you have to cut and try to position your intake tube with the cone on so you'll know where to cut

it will make it a hell of a lot easier if you do take the bumper off ... here's some info

It's a hella lot easier and I'd recommend it, it's not that difficult to take off and put on.

It will be easier and not so much of a hassle. The front bumper is not hard to take off. I took mine off before.
