I did it. Very easy. The car seems stronger. The stock air inlet in the housing is almost shameful. It almost seems like the factory was trying to derate the motor by restricting airflow into the filter assembly.

Just cut out the center front section of the air filter cover. That way you can retain the factory clips and not use zip ties. Also add a K&N filter and front hood seal to prevent water from dripping into the front of the air filter.

Also, NEON adds undetermined amounts of RWHP. Once you've completed your Neon mods you must have a DYNO performed. However, EnglandGreen may be able to give you the best real time estimate of added HP.

Yup, I just put a neon bulb in the car on the way back from home depot and I could definatley feel a SOTP difference and it wasn't even hooked up yet, imagine what it would be like hooked up.

Hrm, initial req was for instructions/howto...
I would like to see before/after dyno slips
But ppl will prob say it's like the "ram air" argument, i.e. you only see increased breathe-ability at 100+ mph
How did thread turn into a neon light fest?

If you're looking for a cheap cold air intake, you've got it wrong, just buy a vararam.
