Using this Mishimoto intercooler pipe kit is a straightforward process. First, make sure your vehicle's engine is cool before starting the installation. Begin by removing the old, restrictive factory intercooler pipes. Then, carefully install the new pipes from the kit, ensuring a proper fit. Use the provided high - quality stainless steel T - bolt clamps to secure each connection tightly. When it comes to the couplers, handle them gently as they are made of four - layer 100% silicone with heat - resistant fibers. For maintenance, regularly check the clamps to make sure they are still tight, especially after long drives or high - performance use. Also, keep an eye on the condition of the couplers. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it's a good idea to replace them. Since the kit comes with a Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, if you have any issues, don't hesitate to contact the manufacturer.
