Cold Air Intake System

Bought some Gen 3's but have yet to install them. Is the installation really that hard that everyone is using professional mechanics?

Not a deal if you know your way around a garage. It's about a 2 on a 1-10 scale with 10 being most difficult. You will get a cleaner install if you use a 2" sanding drum on a power drill to enlarge the holes in the radiator support rather than just hacking away at it. Also, be sure to install (per the Stillen directions) the rubber/vinyl shielding on the AC piping.

The pipes scratch easily so it's a good idea to cover the pipes (except where they go into the connectors) in delicate surface (for easy removal) blue masking tape to prevent scratches. Keep polishes, solvents and cleaners off of the "Stillen" stickers or you could dull/smear them.
