Sounds good, but for the sake of putting my foot in my mouth, can it be taken off and replaced with the stock intake if you need to sell the car?

From what I've read so far, the Comptech STB is your best bet.

You might want to check out my post and photos on my AEM install: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...?threadid=34829
IMHO, its worth every penny and more. Looks great, sounds incredible, makes a noticeable difference in performance, save weight, and leaves open space in the engine bay that cools the underhood temperatures. Here's a photo of my install.

We did our second New England install this evening - this time with the bypass valve - we almost have it down to a science now...

Got mine from Ben at Bulletproof. Will install it Thursday morning with my friend. I think it is very well worth if.

Thanks Ben for a fast and prompt delivery

Do you have to take the front bumper off to install?

It is a lot easier with the bumper off. We used a hole saw to saw the hold from the front into the fender well and from the center radiator area into the side area where the air filter goes.
