Using this upper coolant pipe kit is easy. First, make sure your vehicle's engine is cool. Then, carefully remove the old OEM rubber upper coolant hose. Next, install the new aluminum upper coolant pipe from the kit in its place. Attach the silicone boots and use the T - bolt clamps to secure everything tightly. As for the powder - coated finish, it gives the pipe a nice look and some protection. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the clamps and boots regularly. If you notice any signs of wear or looseness, tighten the clamps or replace the boots as needed. Since the lead time for this product is 40+ business days, plan your purchase in advance to avoid any long waiting times. Also, remember that it doesn't come with a WCFab badge, so don't expect one when you receive it.
