Just installed it yesterday in my driveway took me 3 hours, watched the video removed what needed to be removed took a coffiebreack watched the video again and assembled everything went straight forward no cutting /trimming required
Only annoying thing is I have the m-kit front (big intake gab) and it sits a bit lover drivers side

^ thanks. The install is very straight forward as long as long as you have the right tools. Hopefully this video boosts peoples confidence when thinking about installing the intercooler themselves and shows that you dont need to cut/trim anything.

Is it that bad if you have an intercooler without an OCC? Like if you waited 3-4 months to install an OCC after the intercooler?

if you have oil in the intercooler when you do the OCC just remove the intercooler and rinse it with meth or gas. should remove any oil and safe for your engine.

Great video! Love the new end tanks. I'll have to come by and visit you guys and check out the shop next time I head up to philly and visit my sis.

So it really wouldn't be a problem at all?

Thanks for the compliments! We have also bull-nosed the front of the intercooler for better flow. Come stop by the shop any time!

Ahah thats exactly what the song reminds me of as well! Also, you are most welcome. Thats half the reason I made the video so that everyone would know how easy it was to install the parts in your car.
