30-60 min. It is fairly easy. Make sure you use the MAF bolts that K&N gives you.

The unplugging thing is really up for grabs. I did for like 2 min. Others may say not to. I did get a cel for like 50 miles then it went off. Hasn't come back on......yet.

It took about 1000 miles for my cel to go on.. Went on after I put midgrade in( I didn't drive my car hard at all.. Never put more then 5 psi on the guage).. After 3 tanks of premium gas the cel went away.. Other then that I LOVE the sound the supercharger makes now.. you'll enjoy it!

Actually if you want the most foolproof install of your CAI do the following.

First cover that bolt on your car near where you are going to slid in the CAI or it will scratch it to all hell.

Second take you k and n filter completely clean all of the oil off of it. Then spray a very light coating of oil back on it.

This will stop your maf from getting covered with the oil and keep you away from a CEL.

I had my k&n installed yesterday. Last night no CEL. Today CEL is on and has been on all day. Either tonight or tomorrow I'll take the maf out and clean it. But yeah, the filter was oiled to all hell.
