One quick question

Ok in the how to's there is pioneers Place Racing CAI instructions but he had a pop charger. How hard is it to remove the stock airbox.
Also it isn't hard to install the CAI right I can do it myself.

stock air box is easy to remove, just a few bolts. That how to is one of the best for the CAI!

As for the CAI it will take you a little while. You have to remove the battery and tray as well as drill a hole in your fender. Its not as easy as a pop type but you can do it if you take your time.

Cool because spent the cash for the CAI no money to have someone install it. (Buying mods when I got no money).

Did you buy, or do you have a hole saw? You'll need it! Also you will need some primer to clean up the hole. Weather stripping will help seal the hole.

For the CAI, it is cake since you are pulling everything from the throttle body on out. The POP's can be more challending since you have to separate the MAF from the air resonator...and that can be a bit of a PIA.

I plan to go to my former work and do it. heated garage and got hole saw but will check to see if they have the size. Also on the K&N filter it says to oil before using is that true do I have to go buy the oil for it first or is it ready to go.
