Is there any way that I can get around taking the bumper off in order to install cold air? Also, how do "offbrands" compare to Injen and other popular makers of cold air intake? I mean the kind you see on ebay that cost like $40. Please let me know, and if anyone else has any offbrand parts, then let me know how shitty they are. Thanks.

Also, I know this should be directed to another forum, but if anyone has a used cold air, or one they are willing to sell, hit me up. Thanks.

i have the AEM CAI and i didn;t take the bumper off. It fits in there fine. The injen does too. I wouldn't put anything but brand name in my car personally but its your call.

$40 intake will not fit...  Read Feedbacks of people who sell that garbage and you'll see.

I wouldn't put anything but brand name in my car personally but its your call. i have AEM CAI as well but i had to take off the bumper..i just had to take it off again yesterday to clean the filter...maybe its because i have TRD action package bumper..or because i have a GTS not a GT ? anyway i like my CAI even tho i have to take off the bumper..its not that hard but the plastic clips are aggrivating
MEOW!

My car lossed them because of my kit so I can just turn the wheel and pull the filter off. On the other hand it's easier to remove the plastic then the bumper and remove the filter. It's a tight fit but doable.

I have an AEM CAI which I bought from everythingcelica.com , and I love it. I Did not have to take the bumper off, although I did build a custome door under the front fender, so I can clean the filter easy. Personaly, I would not put anything in my car that wasn't Top Quality, But then again , to each his owne.
