Installing a Spool CAI, how difficult?

[mSHOCKERp]

I'm just wondering how hard it is to install the Spool CAI, I just ordered it today. I hear that you need to relocate the coolant tank with the Injen, is that true with the Spool as well? Thanks for any info, I'm kind of jumping the gun but I'm psyched to get it and want to install it as soon as I get it. Thanks in advance.

Intakes are easy to install on most cars. I haven't gotten an intake for my MSP yet, but everyone has been saying it's easy.

As long as you're handy with basic tools it will be a simple thing to install.

Yeah I have the Spool CAI. You do have to relocate the coolant tank. It was very easy. If you would like some help just PM me or email me, I'd be glad to help. But right now I am out the door to the mazda meet.

Thanks for the help, once I get it if I'm in a bind I'll come back on here for some tips. Has anyone had bad luck with the placement of the filter and water getting into it? It seems like water is not gonna go near it but I'm very cautious because my friends AEM CAI (sans Bypass Filter) was waterlogged and led to the blowing of his engine. Thanks for any info. Oh, btw, how do you like the Spool CAI? Any improvements in smoothness, even after flash I'm getting some hesitation on WOT, hoping this may help a bit. Also, is the BPV any louder?

Yeah I like it alot, no water problems yet. The BPV and turbo become louder as will any car with an open filter. Sounds and looks nice though.
