This guy said he'd install an Injen in my EP for $50-$75, is that terrible or not too bad?
I dont do well with installations myself!

He's trying to rip you off. You should install the injen yourself. If you can turn a screw you can install the measly short ram intake.

50 - 75 sounds about right. I'm terrible with installs myself. The local shop charges 50 an hour for labor which would make it an hour to an hour and a half. Not to bad. Not super but you not getting screwed in my opinion.

I think there are step by step instructions here at ephatch.com for the AEM cai....$50 is a waste of cash for install of something so simple as this. Do it yourself and learn a thing or 2 about ur car.

HERE send me 20 bucks and do it yourself,:) dont ever be afraid to learn new things!

Install:
Remove top cover of OEM intake box, then remove the 4 10mm bolts holding the bottom portion of the oem intake, dont forget to remove the 10 mm bolt that holds the resonator piece to the front of the intake box also. remove all pieces. Install your CAI according to the manufact. instructions they will be clearly spelled out for you. --

--joe, good luck.

You can install the Injen without cutting too. PM me and I'll give DETAILED instructions since I just did this 3 weeks ago.
