There's no need to cut or modify anything, so it's a straightforward process. When it comes to maintenance, check the air filter regularly. If it looks dirty, you can clean it according to the instructions on the filter. This will keep the intake system working at its best. As for usage, enjoy the improved performance and throttle response. And don't worry about emissions, as this intake system meets standards across the USA.
