I bought a 4inch intake to replace the silencer and went to put it on today but what an effort, I think I need to remove the intercooler pipe to slip it off but the hose clamps have got weird covers over them or something and I dont have the funky star tool to remove the bolts for the cross over either so I can loosen that and slip it off that way.Any help would be much appreciated guys. if I can maybe get the star tool then I might buy a new pod filter system so I can hear the spool in sydney if anyone one wants to be hands on with it haha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79975-help-no-idea-how-to-do-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
