Agree. Anyone can install it on their own

My wife, a nurse, bought & installed my ER charge pipe in 45 minutes while I was recovering from a torn ACL.

So that was probably an hour & a half for her, so an hour for you. There's some DIY's on here & YouTube to help you out as well.

Good luck!

I learned this the hard way; fitment on the Cobb pipe was absolute trash.

They got a lot of people with that price point and Cobb name. It's one reason we don't sell it as I hate returns! LOL

Literally the exact reason I bought it. Had Cobb everything on my STI with no issues and expected the same with this chargepipe. Really wish I went with VRSF on this one.

ER is what I have on my car. I took my time and install was a little over an hour (maybe 90 minutes) for that and the forge diverter valves.

Take your time, use a little water to slide the hoses on the pipes as needed. You may want to think about an extra clamp for the silicone couple/ metal pipe from FMIC as pictured below.. I know clamps are a matter of preference, but I just don't like to t-bolts in this area of the engine, though i use them on the lower FMIC connections..

Anyway, don't pay for this!!

My Cobb CP arrives Monday. Should I just return the damn thing and go VRSF before even attempting the install? Like how bad is it? If I could just get it on there it obviously performs just as well as competitors being that it's just a pipe lol. Not sure what to do....
