Arrow JWT Intake installation difficulty

Hey guys,

I was wondering how difficult is it to install the JWT intake. I have no experience with installing mods on a car. Do you think is it do able for a noob? What tools/preperations would I need to install it?

As long as you are not retarded this should be something anyone can do. It is just a few bolts for the intakes and heat shields.

From everything I've heard and seen this is about as easy a bolt on as you will find. I actually looked at the instruction manual for it on their website and it looked so easy to me, and I'm not exactly mechanically inclined. I have the Injen intake on order which I'm going to try and tackle myself, (scary, lol) but I seriously think that just about anyone can handle the JWT intake for sure!!!

I checked out the installation instructions on the JWT web site. It looks like all I need is a screw driver and a wrench.

Thanks for the quick replies!

The tools needed is channel locks, 10mm wrench, 10mm socket, philips head and flat head. They basically fit right in, no cutting required.

I placed my order with Andy yesterday for the group buy. He told me that I was the 7 or 8th person in the GB.
