It's no hard to do. There is a DIY on here. But I'll help you since I've replaced my plenum, throttle body and intake with polished parts.

Thanks! How long does it take? I've done struts and stuff but I never really touch the engine so I just want to be careful.

I'm pretty new on this forum, lurked for a while, but don't know the ins and outs. Is there a way to make groups or unions to add people to like on some forums? Because itd be nice to get everyone that wants to do a meet in one contact spot.

Unless we figure everyone has facebook we can make a group there to keep in contact and set stuff up.

But your idea sounds good with me.

2 hrs maybe. 2 1/2 if you're extra careful. You also need longer screws for the plenum. I think they may be included. Also there is a special driver needed to remove the MAF sensor from the housing. Also I think a new plenum gasket.

A buddy of mine used to do it and not crack your paint in the process. But he doesn't have the time anymore. However, he will rent out his eastwood fender roller.

I bought it through motordyne so I should have everything needed. I know I do have the plenum gasket. I do not have a torque wrench though

Application should be the same. I used it and I wasn't even installing a spacer just swapping plenums
