Took about an hour to remove the stock rack, install this one. Very straight forward. I love the look of it. The wind noise is considerably louder. I realize some of it is from lack of plugs on the front of my roof, but most of it is definitely from the rack. I'm going to have to buy the ARB wind deflector to
hopefully quiet it down. The wind noise is loud enough that i think they should actually make it part of the roof rack, not an accessory. I still love the look though! Plus, its so much more sturdy than the stock rack, which was surprisingly light!
