Yes it does need to be cut. I cut it right where the port comes off for the hose that does'nt even get used. When you get the bypass they give you a template to trace around the pipe so you know exactly how much to cut off. Pretty simple.

NICE... ME LIKES>>>> I got myself the injen pre-filter (hydro-sheild) and with even driving around in flooded streets.we got 3inches of rain in less than 24 hr period around here i didn't have a problem. Mind you I wasn't flying threw the streets 10-15mph tops I never had a problem.

Ooh, nice, can I have your stock front grills?!?! Been looking for someone with the billet '05+ grills to see if they would be willing to part with their stockers as I have the kit with the '05+ openings and have a '04 Vibe.

Here you go Cole, some better pics of the bypass valve. I actually just got done driving and noticed a difference in sound. Before the intake sound was deep, but now it is not as deep and sounds more smooth. I dont know if it is b/c of the bypass valve or something else. But i like the new sound better.

And actually where my bypass is, that is where the port used to be. i cut it out to put in the bypass

so did you have to cut into the intake pipe for the by pass valve or did it come with instructions?
