On a scale of 1-10 how hard would you all say it is to do install yourself?
I'm wondering bc I'm going to get my oiled changed and other crap, was just gonna have them install if it is too difficult.
I'm not mechanically inept but I don't know a whole lot either.

ur talking about the SLP cold air induction?? I would say maybe a 5 or 6, it was just a pain in the a$$ to get the heat shield around the wire harness....I had to cut some of the heat shield away to get it to fit. Also, the air sensor placement is terrible. i had to stretch the wire til it almost snapped....Its really not that difficult id say go for it urself....oil change people would just jack it up

well they aren't just oil changing people. They are the people that I go to get major stuff fixed too. I've been there a few times w/ the bird w/ no problems. Not to mention my dad takes the vette there a bit too. However I think I will try to install myself and if it doesn't work I will just take it to them.

Yeah, it's easy, definitly don't pay to have it done, that's just a waste of money. Might take you a few hours if your not mechanically inclined, but it's pretty straight forward.

If you get a buddy to help you, shouldnt take you more than an hour.
Biggest pain is getting the pipe to fit between the radiator and the brake system.
Have the friend pull on the Radiator toward the front of the car pretty hard, and the sucker should fit right in. Put the filters on UNDER NEITH the car. THey wont fit if they are on the intake while your putting it in.
Then that stupid plastic thing underneith the car that you have to take off, keep it off. You get a little bit more air circulation out there. Ya ur filter will get dirtier quicker, but i think you get better access to cooler/cleaner air. Just my opinion. I could be totally wrong.
Good luck
