I'm in, I've got absolutely nothing to do this weekend. I'll bring a dremmel, hopefully that'll be able to get in there if the sawsall won't reach. No autocross tomorrow, it was last week.

Awesome, I really wasn't looking forward to doing this myself! Cutting the intercooler soft piping attached to the stock intercooler. Speaking of that, I can't find any 2 1/2" silicone couplers/clamps. I went to advance auto and walmart and neither carry them anymore apparently. It's too late tonight to go anywhere else, but do you know if autozone or napa or anyone carries them?

I'm good to start whenever, not too early though since i'm NOT a morning person lol. I'll go get the couplers when I wake up then start after that since i'll have everything I need minus the saw/dremmel. I really want to try to get it swapped without taking off the bumper, a few people have said they've done it and it saves over an hour. I got a new cell so my number is 239.xxx.xxxx, frank what's your number so I can call you(i've got scotts and anthonys already)?

Ill pm you a guy's number that I know can set you up with couplers and t-clamps. Whatever size. His name is rob and hes a nice guy. You might have to go to his house to pick it up though. He lives of of veteans and skyline. Tell him garrett with the white srt gave you the number.

Thanks to Scott and Frank for the help and letting me borrow the dremmel!! 27x5.5x2.5 and it's running good. Took it out for a long drive and saw no noticeable heatsoak w00t! Install only took 3 hours and left the bumper on for it.
