The hardest part is the installation of those tubes from the vent covers to the intake tubes. It's a tight fit and there's just not a lot of space to work.

i think u guys installed the hoses wrong, ur suppose to take the original one out and that the clamps out and put then on the hoses the gave u, not try to fit the hose they gave u into the hoses that is already on. so in the end 2 original hoses should be off

Installation is real easy as mentioned except the exhaust recirculation hoses, they do not fit on easily and there is not a lot of room if you have bigger hands. You can do like someone said, use stock ones with clamps or try to muscle the ones with the kit on. i got one on but went to the stock one with clamp on the driver side since the tube provided is too long and cramped and I could not get the bitch on anyway. You spend 15 minutes doing 95% of the work and 45 minutes on the damn hoses.

Someone suggested after I had beeen thru the war getting mine on to soak the ends in boiling water for about a minute, this expands them enough to push on the fittings.

Anyone disconnected the Battery Negative Cable as the instructions state? Is this Critical or can I skip this step?

I just installed. Disconnected the negative battery terminal. Lost my radio station presets ....

I also lost the the power window programming. Windows on both doors were not resealing up after opening and closing the door. I had to go to dealer and get the program reset.... This may happen to you beware. Good luck.

Still observing the changes from the Typhoons. Now about 200 miles since install. Seems more powerful above 4000 rpm. May have also a slight bump open highway mileage while cruising. Well worth the $$$. Looks good in the engine compartement too...

I didn't disconnect the Battery... no issues with that either...

How about re-programing the ECU? is there a need to do this?
So its ok to not disconnect the battery terminal?
