Using this Mishimoto intercooler pipe kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle's engine is cool. Remove the old, restrictive factory intercooler pipe. Then, install the new parts from the kit one by one, using the included high - quality stainless steel T - bolt clamps to secure the connections tightly. When choosing a coupler color, pick the one that suits your style. As for maintenance, regularly check the clamps to ensure they are tight. Inspect the silicone couplers for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, contact Mishimoto for support under the lifetime warranty. Keep the pipes clean to maintain optimal performance. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the pipes or couplers as they may damage the materials.
