Very easy to install. Takes about 45 minutes or less. The hardest part is putting the 2 screws into the snorkel to mount the heat shield.

A retarded blind person can install one of these without a problem. It's one of the easiest mods to install second to the air freshener.

The best way to put the two screws intot he snorkel is to first get a nail and a lighter. Hold the nail over the flame until it's red-hot and then it will slide through the plastic like butter.

Depends on the dealer... My dealer told me that it voids the warranty...

i am a service advisor for a dodge dealer and the way we were told
was if a modification done to the vehicle was the direct cause of the
failure that repair is not warranty, otherwise if it cannot be proven
your mod caused it warranty will still cover the concern
popcharger is very simple install-only thing that could cause a problem
is reinstalling the sensor after removing from stock box and putting into
popcharger-one could possibly damage a wire or leave loose or something

I installed mine yesterday and only put one screw in the snorkel. In fairness the bracket holds it fine anyway.

+85 I just screwed them into the metal and that sort of clamped down on the snorkel. I'm not taking the bumper off to properly drill holes...
