ZZP Intercooler

So, just got the new intercooler in the mail....few questions for anybody that has installed theirs



Did y'all leave the stock one in the car or did you remove it?
Was there anything major to avoid hitting/breaking?
Estimated hours of work?

I dont have the ZZp IC but I have a custom one made. I left the stock one in there. Please be careful with AC lines

It's honestly up to you, just seems like a headache to remove

So, I removed the old IC.....drove the car it felt sluggish popped the hood the throttle body clamp came loose fml.

Only issue I had was this...throttle response feels more smooth ...I don't really now how to describe it....lol

Took about 6 hours in total doing it by myself in the dark....lmao wife was mad that I waited for her to bring the car home then I immediatly removed the bumper
