Getting the air box is the worst part. Attachment is gravy.

Actually... he said ram air... so he doesn't need to remove the air box.

This install is insanely easy. Look for the two bolts near the front right shock tower and remove. Remove bolt at under side of intake (get under car). Carefully pry loose the springy ring holding the intake to the throttle body. Pull the temp sensor and the (can't remember name right now - the tube from the engine back to the intake for the unburnt fuel).

Bolt on ram air intake. (Easy to figure out, and it shoulda come with instructions if it's new.)

Just pull the old air pipe out and put the new one on. It is as easy as that. If you start tinkering, you will get it.

Yeah, I took the upper half of my air box off first just for the initial install, but then later on I decided that I wanted the whole thing (resonator) out of there. I thought maybe more air would come up in through that opening in the chassis.
The piping is super easy, as is the removal of the box and OEM type drop in filter.
The resonator wraps around through the opening I mentioned earlier and is a little tougher...
I know this isn't a DIY but I just wanted to give you some more ideas to build on.

You have to remove the splash shield above the passenger tire to get to the resonator. That is assuming you even care to remove it, since it won't make a difference either way...

And also with my intake install, I had to reroute one of the coolant hoses in order to get rid of the "coolant spider". I am not sure if you will have to do that, but if you do, it isn't that hard.
