is there a CAI on the market that doesn’t require removing the front bumper?
I’m looking at AEM, Injen, HPS and PRL.

There's one package that comes with a handy dandy tool specifically designed for removing those clips that I'd highly recommend. Comes with 40 clips.Pulling the front fascia is really easy actually. Just make sure you buy some bumper clips. Most of the push pin style ones broke when I pulled them. They are like $6 for 100 on Amazon.
Ya, I've got all the trim and clip removal tools, they all still broke. Don't take what I'm saying negatively. I don't mind that they broke, just be aware that you'll need new ones.There's one package that comes with a handy dandy tool specifically designed for removing those clips that I'd highly recommend.

I didn’t know this. Thx!The PRL Cobra CAI does not require bumper removal.
Thanks Vincent I’m interested but real talk your intake looks a bit akward... colour scheme wise... it needs black hose clamps... and the orange part... can you guys do that it black also?Our 27WON intake requires no removal of the bumper or anything in the fender well. Once installed you can service the whole thing from the top.
You could even get the whole resonator box off without even getting under the car really. You just have to have a 10mm open end and be good at turning a bolt in the blind... That and long fingers might help. I recorded myself doing it just have to edit the video and on vacation now so who knows when that will happenI had to take the bumper off to install my Injen CAI, but that's only so I could remove the stock air filter resonator. Had to detach the hose from the inter-cooler to get that thing out. Was such a PITA. Otherwise, I can get to the filter from the wheel-well.
I had got it disconnected and ready to pull. The prob was that space was so tight I couldnt I didnt have any room to pull the box out. Spent about 30-40 minutes trying to get it out...nothing. thats when I had to disconnect the hose from the inter-cooler to remove it. The whole install took over an hour to do, most of it cuz of that damn box. Everything else was easy.You could even get the whole resonator box off without even getting under the car really.
