Do you have to remove the bumper to install this pipe?

 

Yes, but it's really easy. just a few bolts and pop-rivets. There's a really good how-to if you search on this site. I really think the BR UICP is a great piece and comes with a good quality BOV.

 

it is not hard but annoying as hell cause u honeslty need to remove liek 40 lil plastic screw holders from everywhere and then some metal ons on top of that so that takes time

 

<------ Didn't remove the bumper to install the upper inner cooler pipe...

 

If you didn't, then how the heck did you get to the lower coupling that comes off of the IC? Maybe you can do it without, but it's a hell of a lot easier to do the job with the bumper off. Besides, you can see what a freaking awesome oil cooler we all have!

 

Hey, thanks for all the inputs guys. That's what I thought you'll have to do since it looks like it replaces the whole piping all the way up to the intercooler. EVOVIIIU I like to know how u installed yours without removing the bumper?

i will take off the front bumper to install the bottom pipe to make sure properly install,
think about it, if the pipe fall off later, you will get into more trouble.
that's the perfect time to do the headlight mod and the aftermarket FMIC.

search around, you will find the instruction DYI to take off the front bumper.

You do not have to remove the bumper to install it!!!

Just pull the pins out of the lower splash shield, you can get in there to work. Taking off the front fascia is WAY to much work for putting that pipe on. I don't even take the entire splash shield off, I just take enough pins out to pry it down and reach in there.

Thanks for your input David. I will do that when I get mine this week.
