I just remember when me and my dad put the CAI on my V6 he had a hard time putting on the filter by himself. I just didnt know if I could do it in an hour or less. Also do I need to take off my strut tower (or whatever that brace is called)?

I didn't have a strut tower brace to deal with but it only took me 20 min. or so to install the BBK set up.

Can you? Yes.

Should you? No.

Why? They're worthless.
