It's a piece of cake. Stock intake is held in by one bolt and some clamps. Your new one will go right in its place. Then, plug your programmer in and reflash the car. All together, it takes about fifteen minutes and you'll add a nice dose of power.

It really is straight forward - what brand/company did you purchase from? As said, just follow the instructions, it is not difficult. Enjoy!

Will ther be a setting on the tunner that just says I installed a CAI? I have read you need a tune if you install a CAI.

You will select your CAI model from a list during the tuning process.

just plug in the tuner, it will tell you what to do to re flash the car. as far as options go, like gear size, tire size, rev limiter, etc.. that depends on what options you have on the tuner.

whos tune do you have ?

post back after the install, this is the same set up im looking at getting.
