Once the mod bug bites you, you will find the time.
I installed my sequentials at night with the porch light, a flashlight and a battery operated coleman lantern, just because I couldn't wait until the next day.
Haha! Oh yeah? Well, yesterday I laid on the ground in the rain and puddles for a couple of hours so I could exchange my o/r h-pipe back for my stock one. When it was over, I was soaked, but oh so happy

If you can unlatch the hood you can do it.

Careful not to over-tighten your hose clamps. The clamp screw housing can't take but so much pressure before bending open. I had to back mine off a little. I like things to be tight, but I overestimated the clamp strength. I was more concerned about caving in the hose.

LMAO!

Actually, opening the hood takes considerably more skill and talent! Don't trust anybody with your stang who cannot open the hood without looking for the bracket.

one thing that happened to me, and could happen to you, is that when i went to get my oil changed the dealership reflashed my computer so my processor code changed.

when i loaded the tune after installing the cai my car wouldn't start.

i called brenspeed and they walked me through finding the new code and they e-mailed me a new tune and i uploaded it to my sct programmer and it worked fine.

I'm thinking of installing some kind of lock over the tuner plug in my stang so no one can plug in without my permission. If I ever take mine in for work, I'm not letting them drive it, and I'm going to watch every move they make in the shop. I've heard too many horror stories of dealerships messing with things they have no business messing with.

The intake is very easy to install. Installing the intake and tune should not take you more than 20-30 minutes.

my flashlight died when installing my axlebacks, used the light projected from the cellphone to complete the install.
