Replacing my air filter tomorrow (NEED HELP)

I am buying a Matrix air filter to replace my K&N since I haven't changed it for 2 years. Can anyone tell me how to change the filter? Do you guys just lift the car up and just change it from the bottom?

you can go through the bottom of the car... the little plastic piece that falls down if you remove 2 clips i believe... and just manage your way around in there... it shud be held on by an adjustable hose clamp which you will have to unscrew
