Everyone seems to say this is such an easy install, I'm tempted to just try it.....but I'm sure there is some damage I could do if I f'd it up, right?
No, it's EXTREMELY hard and can only be done by you driving to NY and letting us do it for you. LOL.

I'm kidding

You can do it, it just takes a lil bit of courage. As long as you're not color blind, you'll be good to go.

ahem:

So the intake came yesterday. Looks like I'm going to give it a whirl with my buddy this weekend.

Still can't find any decent instructions though. And SRT won't return emails.

Hopefully the weather keeps up and stays in the 70s like today!

If anyone wants to help, there will be beer and tips grilling in the yard.

SRT just replied to me with the instruction manual.

I've uploaded it here for easy access.

Guess I'll just create a new thread in the "Performance" section also for people doing searches.

If you search it's there Adam, no need to create a new thread.

Just completed the install today. Took a couple hours. We took our time.

Not sure if I am missing a part, but there is nowhere to mount the connector that joins the 2 vacuum tubes (it also has a sensor plug on it) It was also not mentioned in the instructions at all.

Took the car out for a drive. Sounds awesome with the Borla exhaust.

My only concern now is that the car stalled when I pulled over on the side of the street when a cop was coming at me with his sirens on. It started back up without any problems, but now I'm worried this could happen when I'm driving 60 down the highway.

Went back over all the tubing, connections,wiring, etc. and everything checks out. Not quite sure what to do.
