Good luck!

I just tried inatalling an Afe on my 2006 (with a JCW sound kid - if that matters) and the heat shield was interfearing with the motor mount. (it would need pretty serious modification to work)
Anybody else have this issue?
Thanks,
Mark

My heat shield must be different than the one you have. There is no way it's going to work in my car.
I'm pretty disappointed in the guy that sold it to me (Hydouken). He won't return any of my e-mails.
I wouldn't recommend doing business with him.
