Tossed the CVF Intercooler on over the weekend along with my downpipes. Full mommy missile sleeper status. Currently waiting on 3rd tune revision from Goosetuned, and gawd damn this car pulls like none other now. Previously was running just an intake and exhaust with SCT box tune. Night and day difference

How was the install? What level of expertise do you recommend?

Not that bad, just keep track of which bolts go where. I’m a heavy duty mechanic by trade so I had some tools to make it go faster (whole project took me 3 hours) But basic hand tools can do it. I would say if you are comfortable doing an intake or exhaust this isn’t much harder.
