    Do you have to take the front fender off to get the filter in and the pipe off? I cant get it out once i took out the stock filter.

    No need to remove the fender. No real need to take off the bumper either. The battery is a must though.

    How do i get the filter up into that spot behind the fender? And how do i get that stock piping out of the hole in the engine bay, its nudged in there real tight and i cant really see whether its bolted int because of the fender, i wish there was a DIY for a CAI.

    You'll have to finagle the tube into the hole where the resonator box used to be and rotate it down until you can attach it to the throttle body. The filter can be attached easily if you just remove the rain guards.

    You remove the rainguards underneath and detach the bumper support brace and rotate it out of the way. The resonator box is fully accessible then. When I did it several years ago, it took me 10 minutes.
