Anybody install the APS inlet pipe yet?! - Page 6

When tuned, the inlet pipe can make a pretty good difference. I saw this in nhluhr's thread in the mid-atlantic forum when he compared his dyno charts to another car with approximately the same mods and about a 20hp difference. IMO I would rather spend $275 on an the APS inlet pipe rather than an aftermarket intake.

For those of you (mechanically inclined) that have done this install, did you complete the install solo? Any reason why this would be a two person job? I am planning to do my install this weekend with no assistant.

I did it solo. Only reason you might want a helping hand is when it comes time to put the intake manifold back on. It's a little awkward lifting it and gently placing it in the right spot while half bent over the engine bay.
