how hard is it to install AEM CAI

how difficult is it to install the AEM CAI for the CL-S and how difficult is it to take it out of the car and put the factory crap back in when you take it into the dealer for repairs so they dont see the mod??

Check out Chod's FAQ. It took me and a friend 30min total. I did the top part, and he did the bottom(includes the Bypass valve).

if you have any mechanical skills it's pretty easy. 2 hours max, for most. you can leave it on for service, it does not effect the warranty.
