Air Raid air intake kit

[humm baby]

I've had my H3 for about 3 months now and I'm loving everything about! But if I did have a complaint, it would be the lack of hp/torque. I need a little more kick when merging on the freeway or overtaking Sunday drivers. I don't know much about fixing/upgrading/modifying vehicles except for the simple oil change. Other than that, I take it to the dealership or an authorized mechanic to work on my ride.

I was told that a solution to my little complaint was to install a cool air intake system. Naturally, I called the dealership and they quoted me a price of $350 for a K&N kit and then $200 to install. does that sound reasonable? I see that I can purchase one at a lower price but then I would have a problem of installing it. Can a person who has little knowledge of tweaking cars be able to install it myself? I would love any feedback from y'all.
