it should be a direct swap...just unplug the maf sensor, loosen the clamp with a crew driver and take out the stock air box, and replace it with the new one

the stock airbox will be a little hard to take out, youre gonna have to push it hard to get it out

ok thanks i've fitted it now
just another 1 q for you guys

below 4000 rpm does the car sound quite normal inside the car
and about 4500 it becomes a load buzzing noise when you plant the go pedel??

cos mine sounds like that and sounds like there;s something loose inside vibrating

check all nuts and bolts.. make sure everything is clamped on correctly. just double check yourself. you dont want any thing coming undone or lose. it can be very bad for you engine. and good choice with the "RE" intake. : )

the aftermarket inatake will be louder but like Jesse said check all connections/bolts/nuts etc etc...you don't want a vacuum leak and start runnning lean(until the fuel trims would take over)....
