I am picking up an FIPK this friday from the previous owner of my car. He is selling me a brand new FIPK for $150. Well, i have only had the TA for about a month and a half, and i no absolutely nothing about installs. I have never installed something myself in a car. So, with all of this in mind, how hard do you guys think it would be for me to put it in? Also, if any of you have online instructions or a website, that would help alot. Thanks.

 

It's not hard at all. Once you get in there and look, it's pretty straight forward. You have to remove the sensors from the stock airbox (3 of them I believe), they just pull out. Then you remove the stock air box, unhook the hose going to the MAF, unplug and remove the MAF. Then remove the plastic base that covers the top of the radiator and houses the stock filter (2 bolts on either side?). You replace it with the metal piece that came with the FIPK. Your FIPK came with two sections of large hose. The round section connects to the back of the MAF (The MAF has an arrow on it saying which direction the air flows), the other piece with one round side and one oval side connects to the front of the MAF. Then the filter opening goes into the oval section of hose. Then you plug all of your sensors back in. After it is all connected, depending on the year of your car, you should have a hose about 1 inch in diameter left on the right hand side of the filter with nothing to plug into (it used to go into the air box). There is a tiny little filter that screws in on the right hand side under the metal base of the FIPK and you trim the extra hose to the right length to plug into this little filter. Then you're all done. It's easier then it sounds. You might be able to get the installation instructions in PDF format from K&N's website. It took me about 15 minutes to install. All you need is basic sockets, a flathead screwdriver and an x-acto knife. If you need help let me know, I might even still have the instructions somewhere that I could mail to ya.

 

Thanks bro, could you do me a favor and mail me the instructions? My Aol name is Dgrun09@aol.com.

 

I heard it isn't that hard, itstalls in like 20 minutes, w/ simple hand tools.

 

Installation instructions can also be found online here

 

i think at kn website they provide install directions.......

 

It's very easy to put on and take off.

Once you get it you'll know what to do.
