All you need is white lithium grease, disposable gloves, 10mm socket/wrench, a flathead screw driver and pliers.

*put on gloves*
1. Use the 12mm socket to remove the screws that anchor the factory air boxes (1 per side)
2. use the flathead screwdriver to open the hose clamp that connects the boxes to the factory plastic tubes
3. Pull up on the boxes to remove them (may require a little wrestling)
4. Remove the 12mm bolt securing the passenger side breather chamber to the intake manifold
5. Take the pliers and crimp the small clamps securing the breather hoses to the intake tubes (set these aside for use later)
6. Use the flathead again to remove the hose clamp that connects the factory intake tubes to the throttle body, and remove the tubes.
7. Use pliers again to crimp the clamps securing the breather tubes to the cylinder heads, remove the tubes.
8. Take the white lithium grease and spray a bit on your index finger, then apply to the inside of each new breather tube's ends
9. Put the clamps on the end of the new silicone breather tubes, slid past the point of the valve cover nozzle. *The question mark shaped PCV tube goes on the passenger side, with the long straight portion of each tube going on the valve cover* Now use the pliers to crimp the clamps down around the valve cover breather nozzle.
10. Install the other small clamp on the other ends of the tubes, same idea for leaving room for the intake tube breather port
11. Apply grease to the inside ends of the intake tubes, and slide them onto the throttle bodies. Slide the breather tubes onto the intake tube ports and crimp the clamps to secure them.
12. Remove the hose clamps from the factory plastic intake tubes and use them to secure new silicone tubes to the throttle bodies.
13. Reinstall the air boxes, secure them to the MAF tubes with the hose clamps.

I know I suck for not supplying pictures, but even for the non-mechanically inclined it will only take 1-2 hours tops. Hopefully this was descriptive enough.

Good luck!
