Looks like you have the upgraded couplers, did you have to trim them? Can't wait to get mine on.

Ya I got them. At some points my dad was spazzing thinking they weren't long enough. Getting enough on the turbo and intercooler were the toughest parts. It has to sit high enough to pass the mounting post but it didn't leave alot of coupler for it to be held down on the turbo. The intercooler was the most annoying though. Since I have the MPx one, the smaller inlet was a pain. It had to be almost completely screwed down for it to hold right. It should've been a one person job but it ended up with my dad laying on top of the pipe until I could get it screwed down. Much scratch, more blood, many bruises haha. The hairspray trick is amazing though.

That's what I put on last summer. So far so good but note that I am a 2.2 NA, but either way they are still quiet and grip the road on high speed turns and don't hydroplane in the rain. The tread seems to be holding up over the past 7000 miles too.
