    Just picked up the AFE CAI kit and was wondering if there was a video out there for install on a 2011? What kind of tools would I need, etc.
    Thanks in advance

    Shouldn't need anything but a basic deep metric socket set, maybe a wrench set, a Allen key set and 5/16 nut driver or socket for the clamps. Fairly easy to install.

    Yea, i beleive most of the bolts are metric 10s and 12s...make sure to have a good foot long extension, makes reaching into the box a cinch. Most of the clamps you can use a screw driver with as well...pro tip, if youve got a power drill you can get everything off and on pretty quick, just make sure to have the drill set for a low impact setting to avoid stripping.

    Also, does it matter if the lid to the box is on or not? Seen it ran both ways...

    ^^ what he said...I run mine with lid on, want as cool air as possible. There is a extra plug that comes with it just leave that out if your worried about getting enough air flow.
