I also have the fujita f5 on my 5.0! Sounds great, install can be a pain, just take your time and don't scratch it up too much

I was lazy and didn't remove the wheel just kind of peeled back the well cover... Depending on your technical ability/availability of tools I definitely recommend just popping the wheel off real quick. Also anywhere the intake may rub put some rubber/foam or whatever so you don't ruin it or your car!

just be prepared to not notice a difference in performance and just a little more noise.
