Who's your friend? hehehe....yeah it takes no time at all. I was in the middle of a few other things at the time and we just jacked up the rear, slid in there and popped it off. No more than 15-20 minutes max!

Scott, I got more concord grape for you if you want to help me pull off the turbos

you guys are nuts

I never just "slid under the car" and "it popped right off"

the thing is a total PITA to get to and remove, bottom line, and half the time you soak yourself in gas

relocate it

I swear, it was that easy! Just some guidance and it went smooth as silk. Next time should be even quicker

I can do mine in 5 minutes, tops, without a floor jack or getting grease all over my arms from sliding around beneath the car

BEAT THAT!!

furthermore, the K&N is signifcantly lower pressure drop that the stocker, and traps finer particles....you just to clean it more frequently (like every 3k miles)....I also like to be able to see how much crap the filter is catching

a dirty fuel filter has caused more than a few FDs to run lean and blow, plus that, dirty fuel contributes to fuel injector problems.....this car flows so much gas that I think it's a necessary upgrade....15k miles on a stock filter may be risky
