It involves shortening the snorkel that brings air inside the airbox from the front fenderwell. Easy mod. Did this just yesterday. For free, worth every second you spend on it.

What you do is cut the inlet tube inside your factory airbox.

but it is worth it huh....bout how long does it take

Took mine apart, like the instructions say, cleaned everything up, cleaned the wheelwell under the box, disassembled the intake tube, cut it, filed it, smoothed the edge, deburred a lip inside the box to smooth out the tube for better airflow, reassemled everything, shooting pictures along the way..... 25 minutes from hood open to hood closed - and I think I was slow.....

Pretty easy mod to do. Nifty sound, too. Plus combined with the 2° timing advance, it sure feels like it's got a bit more spunk!

If you read the How To you should be the best determiner of how long it would take based on your skill and understanding.

If you don't take it apart, and don't feel like cleaning anything, you can probably do it in about 10 minutes. That's just not my style, but others may not be as anal as I am about my truck....
