Ok, folks, here it is; the Injen install thread from our Houston meet on 7/31 and intake install on DAVESNELLING's otherwise stock RWD FX35.
First off, The Injen appears to be of very good build quality and comes with good instructions. The install was very easy and I'd say just about anyone with opposable thumbs can do it :wink: .
You'll see a pic of everything Dave got below, including the heat sheild, whicj we decided NOT to install b/c it was agreed upon that it was uneccessary due to the placement of the filter in the FX. The only time it may be of use is if you used the intake in "short ram mode".
There aren't any pics of removing the stock unit. I think I had it all out of there before anyone knew what was going on. Who said that was the hard part of the install? Nothing more than loostening a couple of clamps, a few 10mm bolts and yanking it out (there is a plastic peg pressed into a rubber gromet on the bottom of the airbox; you just have to wiggle it a bit for it all to come out). There is also a resonator below the stock airbox (you'll see it in the pic) that is held on by two 10mm bolts. It helps to have fairly long arms and a universal joint on your socket to get these out. Finally, pop off the long center scoop as well, unless you'd really like it hanging there all by itself.
OK, first pics: Out with the old, in with the new...
