It's simple. The hardest part is removing the original equipment.

I had to take the battery out completely. The air filter wouldn't go to it's location with it in.

Its cake if you have a working knowledge of car mechanics. I trust you can do it.

It should take less than an hour. And that includes getting out the tools, and wiping them and putting them away. I just rotated my battery 90 degrees and everything fits.

No need to disconnect to reset the ECU. Just let it idle for 15 minutes while cleaning up.

Some will question my method, but after a dozen plus installs, its worked and have never had a CEL come on.

Hop Up quoted me $20 to ship...
$20 to go from San Diego to Salt Lake City? I dunno about that...
I'll try Hi Rev - it might save me $7.
