How easy is this to do on my own? I'm pretty knowledgable but it didn't come with any directions. Can someone send me a pic of their kit on the car? This would be a huge help. Also, can I install this from the top of the engine or do I have to get under the car? Any help would be great. Thanks, Wes. |

wessup - there are several models out there on the market,,,,which did you buy? I have the MTD brand cool air induction system, and it does require most of the work to install from under the car. |

It's similar to the RSI setup. Just a chrome elbow tube with a K&N cone air filter at the end. The company said I Just need to remove the stock air box and replace it with the new one. I didn't realize the box was closer to the bottom than it was to the top. I don't know which way to point this thing either. Instructions would have been nice from this company. Let me know if anyone can help. Thanks, Wes. |

Most people break the stock airbox when taking it out. If you want to not break it, I suggest removing the side panel and the coolant "overflow" tank. After that, it's easy. It works best if you combine the air intake changeout with a coolant change since you'll need to "burp" the cooling system if you remove the tank. For details, see: http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/001144.html -GRROWL P.S. - In hindsight, I sometimes think that I should have stopped with the K&N filter in the stock airbox due to the high underhood temperatures going into the "cold"-air intake. There were active discussions on this in the past if you want to research it. |

It's very easy....remove your passenger side panel....three bolts..(make sure the same bolts go back in the same holes when reinstalling the panel) bring the top of the panel toward you , lift and remove, This will give you access to the cold air box..two bolts Don.. ------------------ |

FYI anyone that has bought a cold air kit for less than $150 take a close look at the air cleaner, the cheap kits are not using brand name air cleaners but cheap knock offs and when the glue gets hot the element falls off the backer plate. ------------------ |

Does anybody have a pic of theirs installed? It seems that the stock air box points down, this new air intake has a bent tube and I don't know which way to point it. A pic would be a huge help. Let me know, Wes. |

Just a word of caution, if you have the same assembly as Pumpkin showed in his picture. (Speaking from experience.) Be careful to position the shield so it doesn't rub on any of the wiring. It will cut through insulation and cause all sorts of problems. Bob |

Hmmm. Mine is the same except my heat shield goes all the way around the filter. Should I cut the heat shield away from the filter on top? Seems that's where the wires are resting against the filter. Let me know, Wes. |

If mine had a shield that went all the way around, I would be tempted to leave it as is....extra protection against wires rubbing raw on the element. For the record, my MTD 2.2 filter intake seperated from the base due to cheap glue. I refit it with 3M tape. |
