Ex chaser Member 46 Member For: 7y 7m 2d Posted 28/12/18 07:00 AM Share Posted 28/12/18 07:00 AM Hi guys was wondering if taking the front bumper off the fgx is the same as the fg I was trying to avoid it but iv got all new intercooler piping battery relocate kit and 4in intake but the intake won't fit under the stock pipe so I tryed just replacing the two intercooler pipes in engine bay but the turbo side one won't fit on stock pipe so have to do all pipes. Was trying to wait till I got new intercooler to put all pipes on but after Christmas might be a while and I'm won't to do it while I'm on holz. So if any one has done the fg and fgx front bumpers remove plz let me no. Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex chaser Member 46 Member For: 7y 7m 2d Posted 30/12/18 05:13 AM Author Share Posted 30/12/18 05:13 AM OK just finished all the work few little bugs to sort out but got thru it all right 1st removing the bumper was straight forward 2nd removing old pipe work was easy enough didn't have to take front lights out witch was great 3rd putting new pipe in I bought a in tune pipe kit it was a very tight fit to the point were getting the front bumper back on was nearly a no go back on was very tense self moment. 4th putting the 4in intake on, again super tight fit bought a antz intake and battery relocation kit 5th battery relocate was buy far the easiest part to put on 6th test drive, after driving round the block hearing the induction noise and turbo flutter was well worth the day and a half install. took my time did it wright no short cuts. I would highly recommend ppl doing it they are great mods you can do if you have a mechanical mind very rewarding when done THE SOUND is 100% louder I have a auto it is crazy loud I was very shocked to hear the difference big smile on the face still wearing it an hour later. If you have an fgx and have any questions about doing wot iv done just ask and I'll be happy to help as much as I can If some one can tell me how to post some pics so I can get some up that would be great I don't have Facebook or other social media . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
