i highly recommended buy good silicone couplers , don't use the one that comes with the pipe kit , i didn't wanna buy the cheapest intercooler , mine is x02 racing ,looks very nice and so far works great...
and installation time was around 4 hours...is not hard at all to do this.

ok if you look on the forsale section right now there is a group by for the higgi tb elbow for 90 shipped! you guys get on it also there is a piping kit right now on ebay that has alot of piping, 3 ply reinforced couplers and tbolt clamps for 200 bux. In my opinion very much worth the money!

I bought my pipe kit from ebay and the seller is cool. Don't pay full price. Usuallyasking 99.99, and I threw him a best offer of 89.99 and they took it. Here is the link to their ebay store:

They were easy to deal with and super fast shipping.
Don't use the couplings they supply you with, you shoud look into getting them from this guy:

Another great ebayer.

yep..couplers are blowing off, thats why i replaced the silicone couplers that come with the piping kit . Also getting t-bolt clamps will hold much better.
i will post soon pictures with the bumper on.

Did you cut the piping yourself? And did you have to cut or relocate anything in the car to fit those pipes through? I'd love to see some more pictures of this project.
That completely rocks man!

Once I measured my pipe to determine where I wanted my cut, I drew a couple of lines on it with a sharpie. Then put a couple of layers of black electrical tape all the way around the pipe on those lines. The 2 wraps of tape act like a "guide" for the little wheels -- just snug the wheels right up against the tape, put a little pressure on the handle and rotate the cutter. After about 4 or 5 rotations you have a very nice clean & even cut. Take the tape off and you're set.
