So I put my intake in today in my FD boy what a pain in the ***..... those stupid *** brackets dont fit for **** u have to bend and push and squeeze those ******* on there. Plus everyones picture of their intakes iveseenhave the lower intake going towards theintercooler and the upper intake going straight out yet mine are reversed wtf!!?? so yeah I eventually just didnt use the bracketto attach the two and now myhood pushes it downa little bit...bujt the sound is so growly itrocks...and the blow off valve noise is nice too haha....

Yea, it was a bitch to install it at first but once you get it to fit right, it fits ok. I think the key was to have the two intakes attached together w/ the short bracket first then attach the the intakes to frame w/ the other 2 brackets. (that probably made no sense but I tried, heh).

 

What other mods do you have? THat intake is sweet! How long did the install take you?

 

Thats my first mod. It took me 4 hours to install it... and its stilll kinda not fitting perfectly but its held on there . It took me 4 hours one. Im 16 and It was my first major install on a car, and two my dads tool kit is such a mess it took me forever to find the right damn size to fit the stock air intake bolts to get it off. Im waiting on my M2 downpipe. that will be my second mod. Its on back order still I think

Be sure to hit those downpipe nuts with some good penetrating oil the night before you attempt to take the dp off ... the studs can easily break, requiring you to pull the turbos and have a shop remove the broken stud(s).

 

If your install doesn't look like this, you did it backwards...(I did the first time... ) Between the Japanese directions and confusing pictures its easy to do it backwards. oh, and I TOTALLY agree that attaching the two filters with the bracket between them makes it way easier to install, bolt on, etc...
