People who baught the RRM ported intake manifold

People who baught the RRM ported intake manifold, do you guys feel like doing a "How to swap the manifold" and post it in the "How to" forum? Or is it just too much straight forward to make a thread out of it?

How long does it take to swap the part.
How easy on a scale from 1 to 10. Considering a SRI as 1/10

I thought my RMR SRI was an easy 1/10... but I've been told the intake manifold is at least 10x harder... making it a good 10/10.

I bought the RRM P&P manifold. I took me about 4 hours to pull the stock manifold swap the parts and then install the new maniflold and get everything hooked back up. However that was my first time installing an intake manifold so it probobly took me longer than it would for someone more experienced. Yah Some of the bottom bolts were a real pain in the ***. But I was too excited to go test drive it after I was done to really care. Overall I would say that the whole process wasn't too bad. As long as you pay attention to what hoses go where and don't screw up any gaskets (I didn't but you could if you weren't being carefull) then it's really not that difficult. It just takes a little time. But Is really a lot of fun and gratifying. On a difficulty rating I would give it a 4 or 5 out of 10. And I would Highly encourage anyone to do it. I notice good results escpecially with a cold air intake, and it makes your engine sound a little cooler too when you spool it up.

i bought the manifold and it shouldnt be too much
of an install problem the only thing that made it
easier was that i pulled the whole motor to install
pistons and rrm turbo kit so that was a convenience
i thought there is a write up on it i could have sworn
there was a thread on it?
