J's Carbon Fiber Intake and J's Engine Damper
Getting ready to install...
Gutting it out now.
Had to take off the front bumper. I here that you don't have to. But in my case, I had to.
Stock airbox gone.
I also added the J's engine damper. I can just say, its worth it! The shitfs are smooth in each gear and has this tight feeling in each gear shift. Also I notice that the stick shakes less then before. Very smooth response from the engine.
Getting the snorkle in, took a bit of time. If you notice the middle part where the the hand is? We had to loosen that whole middle part (don't know the term for the body part name). Its a very tight fit.
Finally in. Also, I like to mention that you will losse the black bar (cross member?) But there is a black bar behing the bumber. I was also told that you can keep it on, but I don't see how its possible.
The Vacum line needs to be re-routed. The instruction doesn't even mention this, where you have to get rid of the metal tubing that was once there (sorry don't know what the exact name of the part is, but you will get the idea.)
Install Complete...

looks like a great install..question, though..did you have to cut a hole on your OEM heatshield?..can't tell from the pics.. 
dude go order the AUT plate from the groupbuy and cut it to fit your j's intake, that seems to be the next step after this.
