Default Dual Cone Intake Installation Question
My friend purchased a new chrome dual cone intake for his 2003 AE vert and asked me to stop by and help him install it while we watch some football later this afternoon.

It looks pretty much plug and play, however any installation tips and/or pitfalls to avoid?

I'd be concerned about the filter media that comes in those EBAY products...

Thanks guys. He bought his from WCC. It's really nice chrome and will definitely add some engine bling. I'm thinking about one myself so it will be nice to help with the installation.

If it's like this it's a piece of cake. Don't forget the air-pump hose though.
