Hell no....first of all you get the product delivered to you as a flat piece of metal, then you have to measure the intake tube so that you can cut the piece and fit it accordingly, almost forgot, you'll need to bend the fins also and form the shape of the vortex. You'll need to be careful not to overbend the fins or it won't work (oxymoron!). If you f**k up along the way such as by cutting too much away or bending it too much to fit it in the intake then good luck getting the POS out!! Do yourself a favour, scrap the POS air intake GM placed there and get an Airaid or K&N system with along with a high quality MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor), you'll get much more punch with every acceleration and your engine will thank you! You might even gain a couple of extra MPG's.

Whats an oxymoron you ask? Here are some examples:

arrogant humility, Artificial Grass, artificial intelligence, assistant supervisor, astronomically small,
athletic scholarship, Aunt Jemima Light, Auto Pilot, authentic replica, authentic reproduction, authoritarian anarchy, awfully good, awfully nice, Awfully pretty, Light traffic, limited immunity, limited incursion, limited lifetime guarantee, Limited Freedom, LIMITED NUCLEAR WAR, linear curve, liquid crystal, liquid gas, liquid metal, liquid natural gas, liquid smoke, lite beer, literal interpretation, literary illiterates, little big, little big horn, little bit big, little deceptive, little giant...
