took me about an hour, it was kind of a pain in the a$$ though. I had to move the siren for my alarm and the disconnecting of the radiator overflow hose was a pain. all in all though not too bad.

Yeah FX4 do you really have to remove that hose, or was that just special in your case?

I may have the name wrong but the k&n kit came w/ a longer hose to go from the radiator to the fluid tank.?.? I thought the same thing why do i need to change this, but i already took the k&n off and sent it back i didnt like it and wasnt happy w/ it at all. im looking into a closed box for my purpose something like the banks or volant.

I have the K&N in my truck. The coolant house needs to be longer to go around the baffle for the filter. It is a pain to get the hose off the radiator because it is under the plastic on the core support. I love the CAI though. I cant tell you if my milage is worse, better, or the same because I changed the wheels and tires on the same tank of gas.
