I'd do it yourself. Intake is the simplest mod you can do (besides a new oil cap). I think if you pay someone to do it you're wasting your money, besides you may gain a little Z knowledge in the process.

its actually very ez. It was my first mechanical install. If i was to do it again, it'd take me 30 minutes at most. I've taken it apart and put it back together for other things several times. Besides, are you going to go to a shop to get it reoiled every 3 or4 months? They would rip you off. Just learn to do it your self.

Maybe you should wait to read the instructions.

Do it yourself! It's extremely easy and will take you a half hour at the most.

If you can't install it yourself you should give up cars as a hobby, forever.

It's easier than changing your oil or replacing a blown tire with the spare.

After you remove the airbox, the bolt on the bottom of the MAF filter area, it has 4 bolts.
