I was at the k&n website and saw that the parts 69-3522 and 57-2566 looked good. I was wondering if I, a complete noob, would be able to install either one of these myself.

I had also heard that cold air intakes need a tuner, would I need a tuner if I bought either of the forementioned parts.

so are you talking about a k&n drop-in filter or a cai?

either one is managable for a noob.

honestly I don't even know. k&n doesn't say what each part is specifically. but the part model #69-3522 is a typhoon intake system, and the part model #57-2566 is a fuel injection performance kit.

Both look the same to me. A noob can handle either one with basic handtools. You shouldnt need a tuner with either one.

thanks, can anyone reccomend one or the other, because if not, I am going to buy the cheaper one.

If I remember correctly, the FIPK is better... but honestly they probably will give you the same gains

I know on the S197 GTs that when you get a CAI and eliminate the stock intake system, you need a tuner because it drastically improves air flow so much that the A/F ratio is jacked. I dont know if your 4.0 is same

I just read on the k&n website that the part doesn't need a tuner, so that is out of the way. but I am still concerned about doing it myself, if I screw up will I destroy the engine?

Its almost impossible to screw up... lets put it that way. Intake is THE easiest mod.

Just order it, take it from me and anyone else on this forum

Yes i'm sure you could handle it. Hell, I would even trust me mom to not screw up an intake install.

alright thanks guys, though I feel you have more faith in me than I do. but specifically can I hurt the engine by doing this wrong, let's say that I put it on, everything seems fine, but actually the mass air sensor is hooked up wrong or one of the hoses isn't connected properly. could that have permanent detrimental effects?
