Hi,

I know very little about mechanics and working with tools.I plan to purchase a CAI for my car but I would like to know which tools do I need to install it. And if anyone can do it? I probably can do it if it comes with instructions. I've read that is easier if I take the tire (from the driver side) off. I don't have a professional jack or any fancy tools. I could borrow some from the neighbor.Any help/advice you could give me will help me not get hurt.

Thanks!

really easy, all the factory stuff are held in place by mounts rather than bolts, so that cut down install time by a lot...

losen your lugs a little before raising the car then use ur factory jack to lift it... your going to have to take out the passenger side wheel well to get the filter in... everything is a bolt in afair and is straight foward.

basic tools are all that you need... basic socket set and an exstention if that... so go for it... no better way of learning than first hand experience...
