it's a fairly easy install...i did it and i'm old and feeble, anymore...the one trick part, besides getting the nuts on the bolts in the new cans, (and making the rubber molding look HALF-WAY-DECENT), was the passenger side L-shaped tube, it crimps if not cut right...my mech. corrected it on my 1st oil change (before my 2nd one where i axed him about the sensor placement.)
i chose the K&N because i wanted an hp increase and wanted to do the work myself...i knew of their rep. from their highly regarded filters...i wasn't real keen to knowledge about the stillen, butt, knew i didn't wantta take off the bumper, esp. for a filter cleaning or change (plus, water.) also, i bought the red nylon covers for the filter...a nice bit 0' color in the bay...
p.s.---they ROAR at 4k...nice compliment to my FI pipes...
