I don't think anything is dfiferent on the 2012's from the 2011's, but am not certain. I read the same thing in the touring section and most people said it bolted right on.

The stage I and II should mount the same. I can get it for you if you like?

That is a good setup. But why the stage II a/c with a stage I setup?

Well i thought the only diffrence was the way they look... It looked like the stage 2 with the smooth chrome cover would be similar to the stock filter with just an open cover.
