any real feed back or review if these hoses really help or not?
It works so well - making spool so quick and revs in gear 1 ramps quicker than you can shift so will mis-shift and hit redline a few times initially. What an amazing mod to have.

does the bumper need to come off for this?
I feel like i can get to the bolts by removing just the fake vents?

If you can, go for it else bumper off makes it so much easier to work around the IC outlet and properly torque the end tank bolts down at 18 lbs-ft.

same here. i avoid removing things too many times since after a while clips wear out or something will break sooner or later. checked with prl and they recommended taking bumper off. i needed to touch up the stencil on the ic which got chips all over from debris so decided to do bumper removal fro the 2nd time. all went well and easily, nothing broke coming off or on.

everything was planned out to minimize having to back later to do stuff...like the touching up and mtf replacement with red line oil since the mishi intake was coming out to replace with the prl hvi intake anyway. in the end, i was glad i did remove the bumper to document everything for the installation writeup.

if you figure out a good way to do it through the fog light and be able to torque down the ic outlet bolts, post here and will update the installation guide as an option.

Possible to get the to the clamps with the front fake mesh surround taken out - rather than the whole bumper?

Don't you have to take the bumper off to remove the fake vents anyway? I had to replace my rear bumper because some stupid woman with completely bald tires rear ended me before I had even made my first payment. I got new fake vents but not the reflectors so I had to take the old ones off and had to take the fake vents off to get to the release for the reflectors. Had to take the vents off from the back side.

not the front. you can reach in through the side vents and unclip the tabs and remove the rest. From what i remember, i can get to those 2 bolts so i was thinking i can do it this way. its been a while since i removed it so my memory might be wrong though.

There are so many clips on those so called fake vent that isnt accessible without unclipping it from behind.
I think u might break more clips removing the fake vent than the bumper.
But it does suck that the bumper has to come off for this.

I wanted to vent out the rear ones. But to do that right I'd have to cut out the space on the bumper since it's only a little opening. Might go back eventually and do it. Not the front though, it would just cause drag
