Can't see why you would have to.
I installed mine on an 08 N/T and didn't go near the back wheel. Even didn't remove
the splash guard as some self installers had done.

There is no need to remove the wheel. On a 2010 the holes in the bottom of teh tranny are already tapped and it will come with the appropriate size bolts (unless you are DarkTrak) to bolt the compressor bracket right on.

Well, I asked about the moving of all the threads and they are staying where they are. I'd imagine that this thread will be there soon too.

Default Shotgun

While we are on the shotgun shotgun subject I would like to chime in with a few questions. First what is the big attraction to the shotgun system. One day no one ever heard of it and now it's all you hear about. What is so good about it. Second I heard some where that you have to drop the system for an oil change. Can anyone shed some light on that . I have had three air systems to date with legends being the worst of the lot and most expensive. I had one called tricky and that it was would go up but not down again they told me to start grinding a piece of the system down I sent it back. I bought a high Lo from the dealer just before he stopped selling them the price was right and I have not had a problem with it. Only thing I found out is that you have to set it right or it will throw you around. You need to set it stiff any way I hope I get some answers. If it's really that much better I should have one. I won't skip on quality I have spent plenty to date
