take your bumper off and you should be fine

also some things to consider and i know someones gunna flame me for it but a 3inch exhaust is a bit big for what your looking for but it shouldnt hurt it that much

sounds like your going to have a very sick set up when its all done

also if you dont have someone to custom tune you then send your pcm in and i dont really hear anyone say they need a case relearn unless they just took someone elses pcm

also for the hub and using a rubber mallet put it on after that if you need it any further on mine didnt but if yours does use a socket really easy stuff man great hp and tq gains as well

And if so since it's air to air, I won't have to mess with any coolant? So the install is easy then, just unbolt the old one, bolt up the new one?

hehehe, no coolant? There is definitely coolant. There are laminova intercooler cores in the intake manifold in which coolant runs through them horizontally and then the air goes through them into the cylinder head. The coolant pulls the heat out of the air, and the heat exchanger cools the coolant back down so it can be efficient at pulling the heat back out of the air.

Therefore, you will have to drain the intercooling coolant system, hook up the heat exchanger, and fill it back up. It is 100% separate from the engine cooling system.

I have the ottp stg2 w/ 2.7 pulley and a cx h/e and it pulls hard. only prob is on the stock clutch it slips alot and i only have 39K miles.

Most everything has been already stated just adding to the +1 for the kit and ease of install.
