*****y LICP Install?

Sup guys,

So last night, its was already dark outside but I figured installing a pipe can be but so hard. Uninstalling the old one was cake, putting on the new one...wow.

I bought the Muse pipe off a vendor on here, everything seems to be the right size and shape, but once one in was installed and lined up, the other end was off about 1.5" from where it needed to be.

Long story short, I was able to squaeeze it on, while feeling like I was benchpressing 300lbs to get it on the intercooler, but I am weary.

Is this normal for the Muse pipe or any LICP? I dont think it should have been that hard to get on. Maybe I am wrong but I need someone to tell me that.

Stock Intercooler. Either end would pop back out when trying to insert the other. So I got it to work by taking off the hose coupler on the IC and then reinstalling it back after the pipes were in but it was really hard to get it on..

Get a new 45 degree silicone coupler, that's the problem.

The stock mesh couplers are just slightly shorter.
