Just a FYI. Take a good look at the filter and make sure it seals to the top housing. I ended up using a little RTV on mine to seal it basically gluing the filter into the top housing. I was getting dirt into the intake tract going past the filter.

I'll second the dirt past the filter and sillyconing the filter in. I'll also add getting to the foglight bolts, especially the passenger side is much easier through the head light openings than through the bottom. Taking the top off the head light and the black trim bezel isn't difficult. Other than that advice enjoy your new found power.
