How hard is it to install this for someone with just the most basic mechanical ability and a basic set of wrenches?

Should be easy. Removing a few worm gear clamps and undoing a few bolts should be trouble free unless you crossthread something. May want a long extension for your ratchet, though. Those are always helpful!

I have the FA20 tune on mine with the intake, but I also have a front and over pipe so doing a dyno wouldn't be accurate for just the intake. The car does feel more responsive and power is immediate and smoother, especially at the low end. There is now plenty of "go" right off the line once the throttle is pressed, even more so than when I had my greddy. For me, it's the additional torque that makes everything worth, as It makes the car feel immensely better as a daily driver in stop and go traffic

Doing crap like that can VOID your warranty and as this is a TRD part it will not void your warranty on the car. It also happens to be emissions certified which translates to - it does not do anything to change/trick the engine into running a different mixture. If anything this is one of the FEW CAI's that DO NOT "trick/cheat" the ECU. Mine is en-route to my house right now. I got mine for $365 total/final price including tax & shipping, not the cheapest but not that overpriced either. |

Thanks @Thorpedo for the job you did producing very useful results. Great intake since it produced very nice gains and did so without losing power anywhere.
For those saying tuning is going to remove the gain, that's not a worry. What these results demonstrate is that it flowed better than the stock box. That is what you want. The engine is a big pump. The more air you get flowing through it, the more power you can make. Tuning will make sure that the air/fuel mixture is correct and further improve the operation of the car. If you're going lean that demonstrates you are flowing more air in. Adding fuel with proper tuning is not going to remove the benefit of the additional air. This is a very solid choice for NA no matter who made it. |
