plan before u cut!!!!

if you dont know where to cut i think u are going to struggle....just recently had one fitted.....thought of doing it myself but luckily i spoke to Mr G who came to my place to do it for $200....well spent....if i tried i would have failed and had no car until someone could help.......

if u still want to try urself have a look on youtube, there is a clip on how to do it....doesnt show it indepth but gives u something to start with...

good luck!!!

The most difficult part it where to cut the wholes in the engine bay, everything else is pretty easy..

to cut the wholes just use a drill to make a circle then chisel them out...

to cut the front bar you will need a special tool for this as its not easy to do wit a hack saw or anything..

Its worth doing yourself for the experience and a good acomplishment when finished..you can say you done it..

But for $200 to get it installed its really worth it..

if you need any help PM me , iv installed about 5 on 96 gtst's and up .... they are a tricky process , and also time consuming .. its more patience and accuracy when scribing the front bar . the rest is straight forward .

Common sense will help you get through it, the kits do allow for some leniency so you do have to be 100% spot on (maybe 95% lol). Just use the guide in the DIY section for where to cut the hole for the piping. Once you have all the piping setup you can judge where the intercooler will go and make front bar cuts from there.

One part that was enoying and tricky was cutting of the fan blade to clear the piping...im sure this has to be done on all bolt on kits...
