[QUOTE="SurfRaptor, post: 1889491, member: 38811"] I installed my Gen 3 COBB radiator shroud and intake scoop bracket. A few pieces of advice. Maybe I missed this stuff in the directions, or maybe it just simply needs to be added. [LIST] [*]Plan on drilling out the left side 4 mm intake scoop bracket hole for the bolt. If you are just installing the bracket and not the shroud, then you may not have to, but the shroud blocks finger access and the bracket is just slightly off. Hopefully COBB is coming out with a v2 of this that has the hole in the correct position for future sales. [*]You have to position the bottom air intake bracket and then the shroud goes on second. I started with the shroud and got it all bolted down, only to find out I don't have access to the intake bottom mounting bracket. [*]My mounting bracket said the Allen key was included in the box, but it was not in there. [*]Have a good set of trim removal tools. I learned this years ago on my jeep and had a nice set ready to go for this installation. [*]To reattach the air intake to the box, it is easiest to remove the top as if you were replacing the air filter. This gives you slightly more access to the 8 mm bolt. [*]Don't over torque the four 8 mm bolts as they will just keep spinning on you. I knew when to stop, but just pointing that out for others. They will get snug but won't stop spinning, especially if you are using a 3/8 drive. [*]Use a 1/4" drive for the installation. You won't over torque and space it limited. [*]I found much better success with a ratcheting combo wrench for the air intake to air box 8 mm. [/LIST] My air intake is not sitting perfectly flush now. Is this an issue or installation error? I see some that are perfectly flush and others that sit up slightly higher like mine. I have a 22, so I didn't have the recall on intake, but you can see the difference in the pictures I have included. Happy with the product and hopefully this helps others. [/QUOTE]
