Using this Mishimoto intercooler pipe kit is easy. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and cooled down. Then, carefully remove the old factory intercooler pipes. Install the new polished aluminum pipes and attach the silicone couplers using the provided stainless steel T - bolt clamps. Ensure all connections are tight. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the clamps for tightness, especially after long drives or high - performance use. Look for any signs of wear on the silicone couplers, like cracks or tears. If you notice any issues, replace the parts as needed. Also, keep the pipes clean to maintain optimal airflow. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the pipes and couplers as they can damage the materials. With proper use and maintenance, this kit will serve you well for a long time.
