Is it true that the front bumper has to be removed in order to install the CAI?

Yea, got to take off the bumper and remove the plastic housing next to the fog light. Doesn't take too long.

The CAI looks like a great quality piece. Its pretty crazy that the ECU does not have to be reflashed again for higher octane fuel. Very nice!
