The pipes will have to be modded a little bit to fit IIRC. The kit TJ found is a good deal like he said if you got the coin to dish out. I've seen the same kit TJ's talkin about go for almost $700

It'll leak, the coils are just crimped and don't seal well enough to hold pressure.

x2. Those flex hose deals are junk. They only last for about a season before they rip or rust out.

It's a pretty easy process if you have a plasma torch. It took maybe ten minutes to get the hole cut. A little fabrication on the IC mounts but nothing difficult. It takes more time to remove the grille and stuff.

Intercooler pipes are a little tricky. I had to re-tack them a couple time to get them in the right spot before I welded them up.

Use good boots!!! That is probably the biggest problem with intercoolers.
