Evo............

Steve,

Did it myself as well. What a chore. Long and short is that my mechanic would have taken as long. Remove the clamp between the intake and also the one attached to the engine just past the throttle body. You need to remove this piece in btwn to give you room to move around and get the intake out. Ensure you remove the MAF sensor from the existing tube just after the existing intake & install into the new intake tube provided by Evo. Remove the 3 screws on the existing intake. 2 on top and there is one under the car. You will need a jack and get under the car to do this. You also have to desnkorkel by opening the left intake vent. You will see the snorkel (plastic tube) Push it up down, left, right until it snaps off. Now the existing intake shld move freely. To get it out requires some Yoga. It is a SOB to get out and requires some force. This was the hardest part. Once past this you are home free to go ahead and install which is a piece of cake compared to the removal of the existing intake.
