I'm a very experienced mechanic and instructions are "stupid with pictures " not very good. You will be prompted to install item

Comes with everything needed for installation. The clamps are cheap and the hoses are barely long enough for the job. I'm a very experienced mechanic and instructions are "stupid with pictures" not very good. They tell you to set items "as shown" but don't actually tell you what to see. The K&N hose that attaches to the MAF sensor is shiny, looks good, but is very slippery. It's a bit tricky to put the clamp on properly so it doesn't slip off. I will exchange the clamps and hoses for better quality. Installation took about an hour, including cleaning the throttle body and MAF sensor. The start went well and I felt the extra power and torque. Five stars if the clips were better. If I were to do it again, I would do a few things differently. First you need to install the mass air flow meter in a new housing. I would do this later during installation. When installing the brackets, bushing and gasket, you must be very careful with the mass air flow sensor. There is currently no need to have it there. I would also fit a K&N hose to the MAF sensor and then put the hose in instead of the pipe. Overall another great K&N product.

Pros
  • EASY MAINTENANCE: up to 100,000 miles no filter cleaning required
Cons
  • Something else
