should i install it myself , what tools would i need and is it hard

Let me guess, the plastic intake problem? $800? BS!!!

I replaced mine for under $350 installed myself. Now they're cheaper:

These guys (1A Auto) are local for me, and are great. This is the non-PI intake (what you'll need) with the revised aluminum crossover- which is usually where the breaks occur- like mine did...

BTW, here's an installation article that may help you out...

DJ Kontakt is right. If you can change your oil or install a stereo, consider yourself qualified. An extra set of hands, the right tools, a Saturday afternoon, and a case of beer are highly recommended...
