Using this intake resonator pipe is easy. First, make sure your vehicle is a 2017 - 2019 GM with an L5P 6.6L Duramax engine. Remove the plastic turbo resonator box and then bolt on this pipe. Since no tuning is required, you can complete the installation without any complex steps. Remember, this product only works with the OEM air box, so don't try to use it with S&B, Banks, AFE, or WCFab Full 4" Intake kits. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the silicone hump boots and T - bolt clamps. Check them regularly for any signs of wear or looseness. Also, the powder - coated surface is durable, but try to keep it clean to maintain its look. Since the product has an estimated lead time of 40+ business days, plan your purchase in advance.
