WHY??

The fact that you are putting the intake on for pretty much a spooling sound. Do you have flash pro? Cause if not this mod will be pointless. I don't get why people waste their money on bolt ons that will do absolutely nothing and not spend the extra money to get flash pro. You are flushing your money down the toilet if you don't tune your car. Sound is not everything. And I apologize if I sound like a dick but I have said this in so many threads, I don't get why people keep asking when the answers are all here. And to answer your question, you just take out the stock air box and intake tube. There are videos on this. Most people will keep the other portion of the stock intake on unless you are installing a full cold air intake. Then you would have to remove it. Having it there won't affect the sound or performance.

Yeah pretty much thats what I was going for is the sound...i mean its a turbo, who wouldnt want to get an intake, especially if I have the money to buy it, and of course Im going to flash this and tune it. Since its a CVT i need some kind of other enjoyment while driving. The people who have the MT are lucky facks! lol

Well I'm glad you are gonna be tuning it. You will get some gains. Not much though, and yes you'll get your cool noises lol. Just make sure you get tuned sooner then later.

Nice bro!! Looks hella clean! Do I need to get a flash and a tune ASAP though?

You don't have to tune it as soon as you install it. You can drive it for a couple days. Or weeks. But I recommend getting it as soon as you can.

I waited till Flash Pro was available which was 2 months and no issues but if you can afford to tune it as soon as you can for maximum performance.

Do I have to even though Im only doing it for the turbo spool sound and not so much on performance?

I would not suggest doing that. You air/fuel will not be where it should and It can damage your car if you run it long periods with a bad ratio.

You have to get it tuned regardless, because it's a bolt on part that isn't the same design as the factory air box.
