My friend installed one on his 99 Neon and it took his a bit longer to do mine ('00 Neon). It was a custom intake so he had to do some measurements and cutting.

 

Yeah that was my fear that I would have to cut stuff. Luckily I didn't have to and it took about 20-30 min (rusty s**t sucks lol). I want to put my battery in my trunk and make a custom intake that would go where my battery was. Because with the setup I have now it's still getting warm air from the motor because it's right in the back of it.

 

i didn't have to cut any thing but my intake didn't mount up with the braket.. im prolly gonna have to weld it or some thing.... i mean right now its fine without it.... holds tight... so i mgiht leave it alone i dunno... i'll get pics up today.

i have an 01 so i know the filter has to go down int he wheel well but its messed up looking .. like i dont see how it will work .. even though i know thats how it works lol ... anyone with a 00"+ knows what i mean

 

Get the iceman, it drops the filter right under where the battery is.

Take a look at this.....it is the K&N Typhoon Instruction manual......with pics.....Picture Manual For Typhoon

I have a 2000 and it is the same......I am thinking about getting this one too.

 

Do it yourself and save some money doin it, i did a 95' and a 01' and they were easy

 

I saw a 2001 (?) with the intake dropped in right about where the battery would go normally, I suppose, but the battery was sitting right next to it. Didn't ask him too much about how he did it. A question I have about an intake is, notice how in each of these pictures, the intake wraps around to the back of the engine to where the filter is located....would it be possible to cut the intake pipe off just after it curves towards the back and rig up a cone filter sitting just to the right of the spark plugs or would that cause the elimination of a much-needed O2 sensor?
