I got AEM Intake that needs to be installed some random shop quoted me 175 dollars because they have to remove the bumper

I am not good with this kind of stuff

so....

Can anyone in San Antonio area help me install this

Taking the bumper off is a piece of cake. It takes about 10 mins to take it off, and less to put it back on. Check the DIY section - there are probably several install threads for intakes. If removing the front bumber is necessary there's a DIY for that, too - search for screen DIYs for bumper removal.

DIY = much greater enjoyment anyway.


Good luck!

You have to remove the impact bar as well to fit the piping. It sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. It took me 2.5hrs I think to do the whole thing.

depends on what im doing this weekend, and how far out ya live from me, but I might be able to lend a hand...

mind you, I have never done this personally, BUT I'm a firm believer in instructions (I.E. if you have them, it will work in the end...). After all, I did do an engine swap on my POS V6 convertible Mustang (1984 model) without any help, or much of a clue... just had a haynes book and will... (engine died on me at a bad time...). Took me a month, but thats what happens when you are juggling highschool, and some heavy work hours, and trying to get your car on the road again...

looks like a good thing for a meet this weekend??? I am decent about taking things apart, its putting them back together the right way is when i go wrong LOL....

lol grungepup... guess if VS8 wants to make a meet thing, its on him. saturday morning is bad, as i should be getting my donor-cycle license in the morning, but the rest of the weekend is good for me.

PS- watch out for the old people backing up in gas stations... old bastard in a chevy messed my baby up
