Air Intake

Post by Xtian » Wed Jan 14, 2009 1:12 pm

I am getting air intake, but wanted to know if it is hard to install it myself or have to go to a mechanic?
Looked in the HT section, but didn't see any thread.

I wouldn't expect to see a how-to on this since it is very very easy to do.

If you have basic hand tools and a sliver of common sense, you can install it yourself.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

Okay I was just wondering, because I've looked on the ones by Mopar on eBay and says "professional installation required".

They always say that. It's a CYA clause.

I've got the directions that came with my k&n somewhere...
actually, instead of scanning them, here's a link:

http://www.kandn.com/instructions/69-2520_inst.pdf

that should work with any ebay CAI that looks like that. You'll also save close to $100... you're welcome

If you are unable to work a a screwdriver and a socket wrench, then you might want to leave it to a professional.
