I paid my mechanic to do it. He charged me $5. I agree there is a lot of stuff to get through to get at the filter box. As for the gain, it is noticeable. The car breathes a LOT better, especially at high revs. I have noticed much more available at 4000-6000 RPM, either at WOT or not. BTW, why do you think the 20V "leaves a lot to be desired in terms of performance"? I love my 20V. You just need to drive it fairly agressively. None of this wimpy 2000 RPM bull.
