You didn't install the full system because you are LAZY LOL!! !! !! !! ?? ?? ??

Anyway.. you'll love the sound of it! Oh....And you don't need the dry charger on the filter since it's a short ram, no water is going to get in from there :D....

Lastly!!! WHY IS EVERYONE Copying me by using RED :P :P :P :P

Hmm..how does it compare to an INJEN?
i'm looking to get one but currently undecided.
From my searches in the forum, INJEN seems to have better reviews..

the reason why i choose K&N rather then INJEN is the dry charger and personal favorite.....
i dunno how it goes compare to INJEN... even if it doesnt perform as good as the INJEN one, i am still really happy with it. :D

Hey Learner;

You don't need to remove the front bumper at all to remove the OEM resonator..

All you need is to remove a couple of screws to undo the front left wheel guard and Bob's your uncle!

That bolt? You remove it from the bottom of the car :D

No offence to anyone, but my hands weren't girly enough to get to that last bolt from underneath, and I couldn't remove the foglight to get more room. So I removed the single screw that anchors the bumper cover to the fender, and removed the clips and cover that join the grill section of the bumper to the body of the car. There was then enough flexability in the bumper cover to carefully unclip it from under the headlight, and squeeze my arm in from the top and side between just behind the corner light on the headlight assembly, and the pulled open corner of the bumper. It went back together without a problem.

And yeah as it's been said you don't need the drycharger in short ram. I've noted that the throttle and slow speeds are smoother without it on. As I've got my Injen in cold air mode I just keep the drycharger in a bag in my glove compartment. If the weather looks inclement it takes less than 5mins to fit.:D

Good stuff on the K&N though!
