Depends what kind it is. The ones that mount the filter in the fenderwell can be a PITA to get lined up sometimes. The open element type, or "ram air" as JLT calls them are pretty straight forward.

if you cant install one, you shouldnt be working on a car. take your time. its easy

Id go for a March Ram Air... it will do more than a CAI, and I dont think (looking at the pictures) that you have to rip the stock intake out. Less expensive too.

Ive done an intake on my 4x4 and a fenderwell CAI on my freinds 3.8 Mustang. Biggest PITA is finding someone with small enough hands/arms to reach up in the fenderwell and get the filter mounted and tightened... its annoying, not hard.

March "Ram" air = vaccuum cleaner...

Avoid it.

CAIs are easy as stated before, just be careful with the MAF palcement if you get one that relocates or has you temp remove the MAF.

Doesnt he need a torx bit for the MAF?

Anyways, they're straight foward and very simple but dont waste your money on them. Buy a K&N filter and move on.
