Yes for the longer intake tube like AEM, Stillen G3 and Injen CAI, you will need to remove the front bumper to clean the filter. It's not that hard to take off once you get use to it.

Wow. Didn't know that. I thought we only had to remove the bumper for the install. Still, the HP gains might be worth the hassle.

It's cause the filters sit right behind the bumper. Injen and Aem filters sit underneath the headlights and the Stillen are between the headlights. For the Injen and the AEM, you can probably create a opening on the bottom of car to get the filters off.

HP noticeable gain?? Not really, it's just louder in the front at high RPM.

To the op: I like the one I went with, Injen CAI. The only thing you have to do is change the stock window washer fluid reservoir with the Injen customize one(still off my car, who needs it? lol) and the intake just bolts right on. You don't need cut anything. And you can decide to go black or chrome tubes. I went with the black.
