You can get the stock airbox that's down behind the bumper out by simply removing your passenger side wheel and undoing a few of the screw/clips holding the black plastic liner in your wheel well. Fold the liner back and badda bing you pull it right out whithout having to take the whole friggin bumper off.
Either way will work though but my way takes about five minutes. You can try doing it wihtout taking the wheel off too by just turning the wheel all the way out... it's a little harder with the wheel on though but can be done.

hehe it kinda looks like under the hood of my 5th gen. When I put the short ram on my car. All I did was take out the airbox, that tubing, and put the intake on. I didnt have to move some radiator hoses or whatever that extra stuff moved was.
When I was looking for the starter i took the intake off. Then I wondered how the car would sound. It sounded not much diff with the intake off. Hissssssss goes the intake hehe and I like stomping on the gas to get that you know, loud and ricy sound.
I always drive by people on the street and tap the gas, and they look haha. If I pull out of a parking lot really fast people yell at me "Hardcooore".
