Injen Intercooler Piping Install Issues

Hey all,

Before I get all the replies about SELL IT NOW, it is not my first choice in ic piping HOWEVER, living in the great state of California I am trying to keep my car carb legal and this is the only option for an upper and lower ic piping setup. With that being said, I am having a serious issue getting the lower intercooler pipe to attach. I simply can not figure it out. Obviously I took the old pipe off so I know roughly how it should go back on and there's no doing. Has anyone had issues as well or success in installing this pipe? Any help, especially pictures would be greatly appreciated! Trying to hit the track this weekend with a couple extra bolt on mods.

Thank You

I had the same issue when I installed the kit. I had to take off the intercooler and grease up the couplers for it to install properly

K-Y. Lube it up then stick one of the opening half into the coupler. Twist slightly and push.

I've been able to get the piping into the couplers that's not the issue. The issue is both couplers at the same time just simply don't line up. Does anyone have an installed picture of the Injen licp I could use for reference? Maybe the angle of the stock couple changes in a way I haven't already tried?

Thanks for the replies
