Using this intercooler pipe kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle's engine is cool. Then, carefully remove the old pipes from your Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7/8/9 or the compatible Ford F - 150 models. Install the new Mishimoto pipes in their place, ensuring the bead - rolled ends fit snugly and the silicone couplers are properly attached. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the couplers for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the pipes occasionally with a mild automotive cleaner. As for storage, if you need to take the pipes off, store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Also, be careful not to over - tighten the connections as it could damage the pipes or couplers.
