hmm, ya, dont suppose its a 1 man job, no?

 

If you manage to do this, it'd be great if you posted up pictures for the rest of us. Maybe find a trick or something that helps.

 

make sure you have enought meat biting cuz i blew mine off 3 times before i decided to go back to stock i know it sucks going to stock after you feal a bit more power make sure its nice and tight

 

o yea tune it it will be even better if you havent already

 

I put mine on without taking off the front bumper. It really wasn't that hard at all. Just jack up the front end of the car, remove the under tray, and move the coolant reservoir to the side. There are two bolts you can reach with a wrench and turn a bit (I had to use my fingers to screw the bolt out after it was loosened).

My LICP didn't have anything to bolt back into place. If yours does, it might be a better idea to take off the bumper.




Sorry, thats all the pictures i have....

 

^^^ that how i did mine as well It is possible to put an LICP withouth removing the bumper i did it, its not that difficult. ill try to post up pics how i did it..

 

The first LICP I did, I removed the bumper since it's a 5min job once the under cover is off. The second time I did it, I left it on.

 

It only takes three minutes to remove the front bumper. Four bolts up front and one on each side, and a couple clips. Anything that has to do with the IC, just remove the bumper and make life easier.

 

Cut the bracket that hold the stock LICP. That is at least what I was thinking but it was still kind of hard so I stop cutting It's just so much easier to remove the front bumper! Search for the HOW-TO and it'll be a piece of cake. Make sure you have at least another person to help you though. Good luck

 

I have to give credit to douggsx for doing it w/out removing the bumper. I guess I was wrong that you have to remove the front bumper. It was late and I don't have much time. Not really an excuse but if I had the time, I'll find other ways to do it. Thanks for the idea Doug

 

Going to AMS this May to get it tuned. Still waiting for my eBay DP and Cat-delete

 

when you installed the licp did you have to turn your mbc down? I think i read somewhere that boost spiked to 25psi after installing a licp.

 

!! damn..cant wait until i install mine. I bought ETS licp too but i have to wait for 1 more week till im home. im at school right now.. =(
Can any1 tell me what it feels like?? IS it like a soft touch on ur pedal and ur turbo spools and u vanish!!? ^^ y

 

Mine had the bracket so I took off the bumper cover plus I was T-bolting everything at the same time. I didnt have to remove the tray, just a few of the fasteners on the front. Good job getting it on without removing the bumper though.

 

removing the stock LICP was a pain for me. I do enjoy my new Nisei LICP. they really make a good pipe.
