The air box is different on the manual vs automatic cars in 2017.

Though I do agree with you on their customer service, I will not buy another product from them.
Haha didn’t realize they’re making automatic transmissions with three pedals and six notch (+ reverse) shifters.

@Tcoat I guess I was wrong asking you for all that advice last year.

I tried (and failed) to install the Mishimoto induction hose. I went with theirs because I wanted to keep the resonator. The resonator is what I failed to install, because the opening they have for it is just too small. I tried everything, including having a second person help me, using plastic pry tools, etc.

Their customer service says it's correct, so I guess I'm stuck with it.

I did successfully install clear side markers, hood struts, go fast emblem stickers, and had the windows tinted. Photos when the weather warms up.

the side markers could be a PITA to install, so be proud of that! lol. what % tint did you end up with? i did 45% and love it. not too dark to get me in trouble and just enough for privacy.

The resonator in the intake didnt matter to me because I got flashed anyways.

You can install it with the center console still installed, but it's easier with it pulled out. Also easier to make sure it's not crooked!

Makes sense! I'll yank it out again. It only takes a few minutes.
