It's a pretty straight forward install.

Remove the old unit - unscrew a couple worm drive clamps and unbolt the airbox and install the new unit.

A hour will be more then enough time.

If you have any questions let me know!

Thanks,


Michael

The ETS intake is nice but can you get black couplers with it?

I like mine, and would definitely buy it again. By the "best" I assume that you mean power gains. If that's what you are looking for then there are a few different scenarios.

If you are not going to have your car tuned... Get the AMS and call it a day

If you are planning on getting a lot more mods including a turbo upgrade down the line and going for big power with a custom tune... Get the AMS

If you are planning on a healthy increase in power with some basic bolt-ons and a tune... keep the stock box, get a drop in filter and a turbo inlet pipe as it will do the same job as the AMS for less money.
