you forgot to mention how big of a pain in the ass it is to get that silencer out. I did it on my wifes car and i loosened the bumper cover on that side

I just took the wheel housing off. Made it a piece of cake, came out under the car.

so many ppl complain how hard it is...take the wheel and fender well off and its so easy...really only a 30 min job!

All you need is a 10mm socket, a 10mm wrench (not nessecary, but very helpful), a 5/32" socket and/or wrench, a socket wrench (or driver), and some pliers. It's seriously so simple.

5/32" is for all the wheel tub bolts, 10mm is for everything else, and the pliers are for that stupid pin under the airbox. Door panel puller works way better in that area.

good to hear!

I just finished my last night. It was kind of strange at first. But like a few of you said. That last bolt on the inner side of the wheel weld was giving me some issues. I finally was able to pull it off. The sound is rather nice. It's nothing that is very annoying or anything. It sounds like the AEM CAI I had on my EG6 back in the day.

Gets a nice deep sound in the upper RPM range, and down low it's a touch louder.

So then you just gave it a yank, I got the bottom bolt out no problem but the one next to the airbox didn't come, and I was running out of daylight so I had to put it back together. I'll try it again this weekend

Pull the wheel well housing off (pull it back), and use a pair of pliers (or better yet, a door panel puller tool) and pull the clip out. I recommend the door-panel-puller, as it is a forked tool, and will pull the pin out very easily.

did on my gf's car and we both love it, once again is anyone seeing mpg out of this

Chad92

I doubt you'll see any mpg difference. I'm going to give it another try tomorrow at work.. we have a pile of air tools there I'll try to get that damn bolt off. I can't believe it's stripped.. It's bad enough I can't get it off without air.

Which bolt? The one under the airbox?

It's a pin.

Chad92

No, the one under the headlight - not the rubber thingy

That one?

That's easy. 10 mm open end wrench and bam.

Chad92

Yeah, but mine's stripped from the factory. Freaking GM.

MP81

iTrader: (2)

Wait, what's stripped?

The nut itself? Like the outside is rounded?

Chad92

The bolt itself. I pulled out the air ratchet today at work and did the job with a two inch extension, 6mm metric socket, and a 10mm metric socket. Took out the headlamp, and the rocker panel to get out the air resonator. Worth it though for having that hunk of plastic out of there.

That air ratchet really got it's workout today, it was hot after I was done with it in an hour of work!
