This install became hard because of the pressure to do it quickly. lol. I remember looking at the instructions before hand and it looked easy then had the car on the dyno and I along with a couple of the techs were changing it out. The instructions and pictures became unreadable.

If it would have just been me, it would have taken a lot longer to install which the pressure to get it done quickly. lol. BTW, it is an easy install as long as you don't make it harder than it has to be.

I should receive my intake tomorrow. I might attempt it on my own, or wait for Saturday when I can have someone help me.

i wouldn't think you would need them if you have a socket wrench and crescent wrench. they're pretty darn cheap from home depot or walmart though, and a good tool to have in your arsenal anyway.
