Yeah its removed with a couple bolts, I doubt theres much different than mine. The two green arrows show the mounting points of the box and where the bolts are. The rear of it is connected by hose clamps, in the location of the red arrow.

As far as the airbox on the left it just pops out by pulling it vertically.

So the black part that connected to the stock box, that says 3.7L Magnum on mine and on yours it said "4.7L V8" has to come off?? Looks like you got rid of it??

How in the world does that come off? Just a few screws?
yeah all of that comes off. just look around and find the screws, there are only like 5 or 6 total, and take them off. then you just kinda maneuver the box off of the TB and you are good to go and start installing. the kit that i got didn't really come with instructions, but from looking at the pictures on ebay and on this site, it is really easy to figure out how to put it on. let us know if you have any more issues and be sure to post pics when you get it on there!
