Using the Mishimoto Lancer Evolution X Upper Intercooler Pipe Kit is easy. First, make sure your vehicle's engine is cool. Then, carefully remove the old factory intercooler pipe. Next, install the new polished aluminum piping, using the included high - quality T - bolt clamps to secure it tightly. Attach the silicone couplers, making sure they're properly seated. When it comes to maintenance, check the clamps regularly to ensure they're tight. Keep an eye on the silicone couplers for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, replace the parts as needed. Always follow standard safety procedures when working on your vehicle. This kit is built to last, but proper care will keep it performing at its best for a long time.
