Good question.
Some time ago I read that it is adviseable to disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes after installation of new intake/filter system. Can't remember if it was for Xfire or PT Cruiser (think it was for PT) but I believe it was on the K&N site that I read this.
You may want to investigate.
Disconnecting and reconnecting battery resets computer module to new airflow was the jist of the instructions.

I guess you can disregard my previous post regarding resetting computer module because the latest K&N site instructions for changing the PT intake air flow system simply says to disconnect negative cable on battery (presumably for safety reasons) and then at the end instructs to re-connect battery cable. No mention of computer module.
With K&N filter swap, you don't even have to disconnect battery (according to instructions).
I know I not mistaken as far as reading those other instructions a couple of years ago but it is quite possible that was erronious information at the time.

PJA,
Filters are very easy to change.
1. Remove engine cover. Just give it a good tug straight up.
2. Flip it over and unscrew the the air cleaner boxes.
3. Clean box and make sure area for filter rubber is clean.
4. Replace filters (By the way you will need two filters) and screw boxes shut.
5. replace engine cover - make sure clips are lined up and reconnect breather hoses.
6. Go drive!!!!!!!!!!
