Re: K&N Installation

is this the 98+ style or 97- style. either way, its really easy. on a 97- you just unscrew a few clamps and lift the intake out. the hardest part on those is getting the splash guard out. its the black plastic piece in front of the tire. its really only a few screws. you have to take it out to put the filter on. (at least you do with the slp model). the 98+ are truly cake. theres really nothing that needs explaining.

btw. be careful taking the iat out (little sensor plugged into the intake). just grab it hard and work it slowly out with a firm grip. it takes a while but it will come out.

Re: K&N Installation

you will have an IAT sensor on your car, just dont break it and be sure to put it back in when you finished or your car will throw a code

any argument? aftermarket intakes are 9 times out of 10 the easiest mod to install

I have no argument against it. I once heard a kid talking about how he got his intake installed, I honestly wanted to hit him in the face as hard as possible

Re: K&N Installation

Some people have the money to blow on things like that, or are just to pretty to worry themselves about getting a little dirt on their hands to do so.

And then, there are the few that just don't have the confidence to perform any mod/repair on their cars because of people that say "...................can't do it, you should throw your penis in the trash"

Words of encouragement are needed, not childish insults for possibility of failure.

Re: K&N Installation

just trying to say he could do it, a wratchet, screwdriver and a jack are not beyond anyone able to merge on to the freeway

if it were headers, hell i wouldnt touch it, my balls arent that big, but intakes are pie

put it this way, my girlfriend put 2 different intakes on her camaro, first time she'd ever worked on a car too

Re: K&N Installation

If you have jackstands(or a lift preferably) and a few other tools, you can install headers. They really aren't as hard as people think they are. It just takes confidence and the thought in the back of your head that "Well, I already removed the old headers so it looks like I have no choice but to install these" that philosophy always works for me.
