No more than a 4 from 1-10.
I think its only 15-17 bolts total that you have to take off and put back on.
It took me 2 hours and that was the first time I had ever done it. And that was because I had the super stiff resonator from comptech and had the wiggle the hell out of the thing to get it to stop vibrating everything.
Its a piece of cake, just get some PB&J Blaster and spray it on the bolts prior to removal.

For a few days prior...I agree on 4 out of 10 difficulty rating. Rusty bolts makes it a PITA but thats all.

You'll get around 25-35whp with CAI and headers.

Forget PB Blaster. Pick up a bottle of this stuff
MAPP gas. Home depot sells it in a package with a push button ignitor for like $40. Heat the nuts for like 15 seconds and they will come right off using a breaker bar. Just be careful with it, don't want to accidentaly melt anything when using it as the flame is VERY hot.
Assuming you have no trouble with the nuts and have a friend, it should take you no more than 2-3 hours, even if its your first time.
