Ok, i'm going to attempt this tonight, and i did all my research on this forum. Its pretty straight forward. I got the kit of Ebay no missing parts.

Got any tips? I heard you have to go under the car to put the filter on how hard is that. Looks very tight..

Thanks Advance...

Ive actually been able to put the filter on the pipe with the shield on the pipe, and then hook everything up where I dont have to get under the car. But you have to turn it all kinds of crazy ways.

And its not hard at all.

Well you dont necessarily have to get under the car, just into the wheel well. But umm, clean out your MAF and your IAT since your going to have it taken apart. Also see if your filter might fit in threw the hole in the fender where the snorkel went before you start your headache. Trust me ive been there, its no fun at night. With some of those e-bay intakes get lucky and the filter fits without needing to go under. Good luck, enjoy! and post some picks when your done!!:SNSign:

How do i clean my MAF and IAT?

Well some of the guys here like to use rubbing alcohol and q-tips to clean the MAF and as far as the IAT you can get away with doing the same thing. But you need to be a lot more delicate with the MAF. Super delicate

i have my rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.

fugg its impossible to take of that IAT tube

The spray bottle will work perfect. As far as removing the IAT sensor if theres a clamp on it cut it and unscrew it. Once you cut the clamp shouldnt be that hard to unscrew.

Pull it straight up. There are some snaps holding the air box in. just pull it (after you undo the one bolt on the top)
