Hello guys
I just bought the intake system but already running into difficulties trying to get the 10mm bolts off the bumper, guess I do not have the correct tools to do the job.

can anyone recommend a place to get the intake installed with a decent price or anybody willing to spare some time to help ?

tks in advance.

 

i don't know why you need to take off your bumper for the revi intake.

 

if you live around the bay area, I could help you out.

 

winning.. dont know from which planet you came from

bumper needs to come off in order to remove the stock intake. done deal. no other way around.

bay area ??? ee...i bought my car at mazda of oakland before moving to the puget sounds

 

Do you have the instructions for the install? There are a lot of steps that you need to do so having the instructions is necessary. The install is not that hard but your first time removing the bumper is a learning experience. The fog lights for me was a PITA.

 

I never know you have to remove the VFAD when you do the intake.
come down this weekend and i will do it for you.

 

there is a lot of 8mm on the bottom, plastic clips that hold the fender cover, one philip at each coner light, and some 10mm on top.

 

yes, i do have detail instructions from racing beat but removing 4 10mm bolts tightly tied on the upper bumper has been hell as this is the first time

 

this is the DIY for the front bumper, hope this could help.

if not it is better for you to take your 8 to a mechanic shop and pay for the installation.

 

cut the guy some slack, besides the only thing you need to remove the bumper for is putting on the the RAM air, other then that you're just taking of the nose molding.

And yes i know from exprierience, i put mine on myself

 

You need to remove the bumper to install the intake as per Racing Beat's instrutions.
