sxth element intake

Eddie · May 28, 2018

I see that the 3.5 sxth intake is considered the best by many.
When i go to there site I see different configurations of this intake some with no provision for either the bpv hose or the breather hose deleted or kept.
I also see that there instructions says that you need to remove the front bumper.
Am i missing something here?
Do they have a CAI & a SRI is that what it is?
I only see the SRI and wonder why you would need to pull the front bumper off to install this?
I do plan on calling them about this confusion of mine but wanted to give peeps here a chance to put my OCD to rest over this holiday.

Don't have a turbo but had a wtf moment too so I whent looking at pics.

What I noticed was that the stock box was ripped out and yes you need the bumper off to take out the stock box.
Or i read somewhere you can break off the last bolt that holds it in but don't blindly follow me on that

you need to remove the bumper to get the resonator assembly from between the bumper and fender. the different configurations are to support other parts you are running, if you have an aftermarket BOV or catch cans.

Thanks for the quick replys.

What is this resonator assembly you speak of?

I just got off the PH with Sxth and they say it is not necessary to remove the bumper.
That i can remove the factory air box from the top.
I also saw a video on u-tube of a installation of a sxth SRI where they did not remove the bumper.
So maybe I can still think about using this intake.
I know that I don't want to remove my front bumper if I don't need too.

the airbox, yes, but the resonator is in the drivers side bumper. once you remove the airbox, you'll see a tube going into the bumper. on the other side of that tube is a giant unwieldy box that is used to quiet down the intake charge.

You are most assuredly right( i don't know s%%t) if I was going to use the CAI this piece is more then likely in the way i suppose.
In using the SRI i believe that removing just the air box and another piece that is towards the front that is held in with 2 clips up on top is all the room i will need .
The most helpful tech that i talk to this morning at sxth said that he did not remove his front bumper to install his SRI and thought it unnecessary.
Thanks again for sharing you knowledge.
I do want to use this intake.
Eddie screwing up a perfectly fine car.
The exhaust I put on my car is sweet it has me grinning from ear to ear !
Now I want more.
UNLEASE the KRAKEN
BY the way they are out of stock and the tech told me that they have orders for 80% of what is coming in.
But my credit card bill has the exhaust on it and needs to be paid off first .
I am working on controlling my OCD.
