It should take you about 30 minutes at THE MOST to do it yourself since it's your first mod.

Take off your stock air piping, put the short ram in place. Close hood and drive.

for the spout thats chillen on your valve cover... route the tube from that spout to the spot on your intake where there is a metal extension...

loosen up the batt tie down a lil, and shuv it up into the corner so u have more room for the intake...

its pretty much self explanatory, but u may have a cuple things that u dont use...
just make sure the filter is on tight, and that the connection at the throttle body is tight...

good luck meng...

Sounds easy...

Depending on what intake you have, you might have to move your battery a bit.

heh, as I learned this mornin when I put mine on, if you get one of those cheap @$$ ebay intakes from directcarparts or something like that, plan on cussing it, fitment isnt all that great and you're definitely gonna need someone else pulling on the battery, if you get an AEM one like we installed yesterday on my buddy's 'clipse it's a straight remove then plug in kinda thing, also make sure you have 3 clamps, one for the TB, one for the intake on the TB tube, and one for your filter, took 20 minutes and gave me a little HP boost, mostly sounds good tho

yeah.. it turned out to be self explanatory but it was good to have the pics.. the tubing part was b.c i do have one of those nice ebay ones and it had an extra hole but it came with a plug... is that extra hole supposed to be for anything? Also, does it matter that the filter is higher than where the original filter was at? thanks for all the help
