But that's such a bad reason to skip a CAI. After the first time, you can have the bumper off the car in 15 minutes.

Any many intakes can go for a year or longer without needing to be changed or re-charged which means once a year while doing an oil change just throw in taking the bumper off.

I actually tested a short ram intake before/after dyno and lost 2HP when the engine was hot when we installed the short ram, it just pulls in hot air.
