very, very easy. Unbolt stock, install aftermarket. It took me about 15 minutes to install mine.

Very easy, you could probably slap a burger on the grill and be done installing the K&N when the burger is ready (well a real burger, none of those wimpy tiny little things ).

before installing the system, test fit everything on a table to see how it assembles, then its a breeze,

DON'T DO IT!!! this is a terrible mod.. if you install it you'll push global warming over the edge and Al Gore will come to your house and kill your entire family by talking them to death!!

When the box arrives, don't open it. Just carefully relabel it with my address and slowly back away from the package. I've dealt with these situations before and am willing to take care of this situation for you.




On the other hand if your willing to take the risk, then yeah, install is a snap.
Just make sure you keep your old parts incase you ever had a warranty issue or want to sell/trade the truck in on a new one.

If you are looking for a challenge while working on your truck, doing a CAI will not satisfy you. If youre feeling ballsy, Id get a case a beer with a friend, get hammered and THEN try to do the CAI. Itll atleast make things interesting.

Basically if you know how to pop the hood, half of the battle is over.
