OK, so I did the install this morning. My observations.
I did not remove the strut brace. I did loosen the stock airbox to allow some wiggle room, also helped to remove the front part of the engine cover to get to the one bolt on the passenger side for the PCV.
I had to trim the small PCV nipples as they would not allow the tubes to sit properly. Easy to do with an xacto knife. Be patient and expect some lost skin. The tubes are flexible so you can bend them quit a bit.
There is a resonator box on the stock tubes on the driver's side this is not needed after the install. Removing the clamps from the stock would require cutting off the rubber nipple that holds them in place... your choice.
After inspecting the stock tubes vs the HPS. I can't see how this will add any hp, but is more for dress. Will get cleaned up and take her for a spin today.
Debating about disconnecting the battery to supposedly reset the MAF sensors. Anyone else tried this? Results?
