Installing Your Fighters Garage SRT-4 Intercooler Pipes

Step 1.
Remove your intake if it is like most on the market and hangs directly over the stock upper pipe.

Step 2.
Remove the TIP sensor from the stock upper pipe and disconnect the red boost line that is connected directly next to it.

Step 3.
Loosen the hose clamps on the upper pipe and remove it completely. It is easiest to jack the car up and remove the bottom portion of the upper pipe from underneath the car by simply pulling backwards towards the rear of the car. Then, pull the upper portion off of the throttle body and pull downwards.

Step 4.
Place the straight 2.25" ID silicone coupler on the intercooler. Applying a touch of grease will help your couplers slide easier. Pull the IC coupler just 1/2" over the bead and tighten a hose clamp over it. Doing so will leave you the maximum amount of coupler material for the Fighters pipe to sit inside. Push the Fighters upper pipe into the IC coupler as far as possible and let it hang, do not tighten the hose clamp.

Place the hump coupler onto the throttle body as far as possible and tighten the hose clamp. Now, rotate the Fighters pipe into the hump coupler while it is still inside of the IC coupler. It helps to hold the lower portion of the pipe inside the IC coupler while you rotate it with the other hand to sit the pipe inside the throttle body coupler. You might need to use a tiny flathead screwdriver to push the coupler onto the pipe. You can do so by sticking the screwdriver between the pipe and coupler and running the screwdriver around the pipe, pushing the coupler onto the outside of the pipe.

Make sure that both the top and bottom of the Fighters pipe are sitting well inside of their respective couplers and tighten the hose clamps. Connect the TIP sensor to the wiring harness along with placing the red boost line on the smaller fitting on the Fighters pipe.

Your result should look like this.

Step 5.
Get under the car and undo the hose clamps for the lower pipe. The hose clamp for the intercooler is sometimes difficult to reach. Using either a really short screwdriver or a really long one seems to work best. You can stick the long screwdriver through the hole in the plastic liner as seen below.

Step 6.
Place the coupler on the intercooler and clamp it down tight using the long or short screwdriver from before. Place the other coupler on the long end of the Fighters lower pipe. Position the short end of the pipe into the IC side coupler that you already attached. Snug the clamp on the IC coupler but do not fully tighten it. Now, while holding the IC side in its clamp push the other end of the pipe and its coupler onto the black turbo outlet pipe. Position the pipe so that it sits like stock and tighten the remaining hose clamps. It should look like the following picture.

Step 7.
Lower car, reinstall intake, and button everything up.

Step 8.
Race people and win. :o)
