Post Airaid easy to self install?

I am going to purchase an Airaid for the '01, I do not normally work on my own cars, is it too complicated to do yourself? Or is it better to have a regular mechanic do it? About how long will it take and how much is reasonable to pay?

Yes, you can absolutely, positively install it yourself.

Drive down here, and I'll do it for free. Hell, get to my house before 6 tomorrow, and you can come up with me and Tom (Ciione) at LACR.

Anyone have any idea what kind of boost one could expect installing the Airaid on an 01 L?

Also, can it be undone invisibly?

SUPER EASY. simple hand tools is all it takes.

no flame intended but if your dealer gives you gruff about an air filter, don't trust them with your service work.

Only problem I had was removing the stock box. It was stuck on the rubber grommets and I pulled so hard that when it finally came loose I almost shoved the whole thing up my nose. I cut my upper-lip totally in half. My brother-in-law was looking at my like a maniac when I finished the install before I'd let him take me to the hospital. FYI blood doesn't seem to help the leaking intercooler.
