Go to Callaway's web site. They have the installation instructions in a .pdf download.
Toughest part of the install is removing the shroud and re-installing it.
Need a rivet gun to mount the filter housing to the shroud.
The rest is easy.

C clamps and the rivet tool are two things you will need to pick up from your local hardware store chain, or borrow from a friend or neighbor. Get the small ones.

You can get by with 2 C clamps, I did, but 4 are better. Breezeye is using 6 in this case, but you don't really need that many.

Post #2 by Breezeye shows the filter frame secured to the cut shroud with the clamps. "After cutting the opening, you clamp the filter frame to the shroud and drill through the 12 holes you previously drilled in the shroud - this time you drill through them and into the filter frame. Then you stick the 12 supplied pop rivets into the holes". Then you cinch the rivets down with your rivet tool. This is all done from what would be the underside of the shroud.

The instructions which came with the Honker are good too. And if you need to you can check their site or contact them.

You need the clamps to hold the air filter frame steady while you drill the holes into the shroud. The shroud frame will be secured to the shroud with the rivets in the package. Do not attempt to do this without clamping the filter frame to the already cut shroud. Then drill your holes for the rivets.
