IMO yew should do it yerself....just be extra careful with the mass air flow sensor...also to answer yur question most sellers send yew the intake wit instructions...if you got yurs from ebay the seller should have a link for installation instructions on his/her page...its not dat hard

yeah they are really easy to do. If instructions were not included in your order then usually the site that manufactured the part will have it on there.

congrats on getting the F5 bro - you will enjoy it for sure!!!!

I have one, and the install was pretty easy, I ended up having my good buddy who is my mechanic come over for some Corona's as a backup (in case I messed anything up), but everything was pretty easy.

Instructions came with the F5 when it arrived.

Let me know if you have any questions man.

No other mods needed. The whole thing is basically a bolt-on procedure. Take out the stock air box, bolt on the F5, and you are good. The instructions are pretty straight forward, it even has pics.

If you cant do it yourself, then have someone local here help you out. I see your from long island. there are many members here from ny that would be willing to help you out. Plus it might be cheaper then a mechanic.

Do it ur self..bro. Just read the instructions a couple of time and just take ur time removing old intake and installing the F5. There is no need paying some one else to install it when you can use that $$$ for more mods....

thnx for da welcome=] ...
i don't remember exactly but a breather's job is to recycle the air or sumthing like that...so basically if yew go without a breather the gases in yur engine bay will get in yur intake without being filtered which is not gud...i say if it comes with ur intake go ahead and install it...if da intake comes with a place for it i say buy it just to be on da safe side...should be around $20-$30

I have an 07 and just put in the Fujita. It only took about 45 minutes taking my time. It's a great compliment to this car and you won't be dissappointed!!!! Enjoy!

So why would you want to cut it?!?!? It will kind of defeat the purpose bud! Let it be the way it's intended or you will regret it the second you make the cut and replace it!

I already did that to my Fujita, sounds even better then before, more torque and it's so much better and no more hydro-lock to worry about. Let me know if you want mine cut. You can also buy a coupler and go between short ram and CAI when you want.
