SSIM installed now dam UICP wont work >:(

[l3igl3ang]

I tell u what u pretty much have to modify the whole dam car to make these intakes work! first off i had to move the ac lines then i had to unbolt and bend up the cruse control box then i had to buy new water hoses then when i though i had it all done the dam uicp wont work right it dosent even come close to working right! its way to far down so my ? is do i have to by a speical UICP just for the Jmfab intake manifolds? the intake im useing isnt the stock one its custom to the stock intake.

After installing a SMIM, almost all of us custom make our pipes. There really isnt a pipe out there that is made to fit. Everyones setup is so different.

Figure out what bends you need, order the bends, then find someone to cut/weld the for you.

Ive NEVER purchased intercooler pipes. I order the bends that I need and I make it work. Good luck.

Well some grammar might help first and secondly, pretty much whenever you put a custom part into your car like a intercooler, intake manifold or whatever you decide....you cannot expect everything you have on your car now to work. It is going to take some planning like making sure the diameter of the piping is going to have the proper bends, same size pipes going to another, flanges are going to match up and so forth.

You can pull it with a chain, as long as all four wheels are on the ground..

When I installed my JMFab SMIM I bought a TB elbow flange and a U bend mandrel bent pipe from RRE. I bolted up the flange cut the u bend and stuck the pipe into the flange and moved it to where it needed to be to line up with the other IC pipe. Then I marked the pipe and flange with a sharpie and took it off and brought it to a muffler shop and had it welded for $10.
