Question Needing Advice on K &N ColdAir Intakes



Hello Everyone, My Husband and I , purchased a K & N coldAir Intake, will be in , a couple of days. The Gentleman that walk through on the installation process said it would take about 90 mins.

My question is, we are both mechanically incline, well sometimes, intil we start arguing...hahaha ..

Do/ should not , we attempt this????
Thanks to all that reply...

It is very simple. 90 minutes is a good estimate. It took me a little less. Just do it. If you argue one of you leave. It is a one person job anyway.

that on bolt was a real PAIN to get in. I actually was using the original bolt that came with my car. Not relizing that i needed a longer one and K&N supplied that longer bolt for me in the intake package

Sorry to hear about the radiator... I feel your pain. The issue I had removing/painting and reinstalling my valve covers was caused by dear ole hubby! Don't second guess yourself, we ladies can do anything we set our minds to!

Looking forward to your radiator thread.

Thanks , to all, We did suceed in puting the new radiator in, and the K&N Airtake was money well spent, we also put in the new Bosch Plat. Plugs and new plug wires . What a world of difference... Thanks again for all inputs ...Heidi
