I am installing mine this weekend, came w the black updated pipes. Only small concern i had was the weight of that intercooler on those tiny brackets. You didn't see any weakness? Although JD did show me a pic of a crashed GTI, and the IC was still bolted to the core after the front end crash..
I was wondering about the 2 wind deflectors on the inside of the bumper. I already have them trimmed for the old Neuspeed FMIC I had. What kind of trimming do they need, or did you just remove them altogether?
Yeah I watched your vid last night!
Once the brackets are bolted on the core it’s solid also in reality the pipes also aid in supporting it in a front to back motion. Things sturdy, I have yet to pull the bumper back off to see how I can fit the deflectors, but by the looks of it they will need extensive amounts cut off of them to fit compared to the nuespeed you did (loved how you added the trim). It’s still on my plan to do though because I really don’t like how it looks seeing everything to the sides of it. Also I would suggest painting the brackets black before you do the install cause they stick out pretty bad when looking at it.
I’ll DM you some install convos I had while doing the install with Luis.
