When it comes time to clean the filter on the AEM CAI, how do you gain access to it? Surely you don't have to pull the bumper every time you want to clean it?

 

it seems like it, since the filter is behind the fake vents, there's no access to it else where.

 

Do you guys realize that it only takes like 5 minutes or less to take the bumper off?? All you have to do is remove the screws along the hood, and then along the bottom and then pull it out of the clips.. There's another way you can do it but it takes 45 minutes.. which is unbolting the clips... involves alot of reaching behind the bumper!

 

You can also easily reach the filter by removing the passenger side undertray. That is also how I installed my CAI...no bumper removal is necessary.

You don't have to take off the bumper. Just remove the first 3 bolts from the bottom passenger bumper and pull back the wheel well lining.
