If you have the 2 piece intake, the bi-pass goes inbetween the 2 pipes

Also check out FAQ to the right, it has instructions for installing

I couldn't get it to install... I think you have to cut it.

You have to cut each pipe just past the ridge otherwise you risk breaking the bypass valve sliding it over the ridges. Use electrical or masking tape to to give yourself a straight line to cut with a hacksaw (use a sharp fine blade), and to keep the paint from chipping. Have someone hold each pipe, as a vice may crimp them.

I'd make sure there are no burrs on the edges of the cut and also that the pipes are very clean so nothing gets sucked into your engine!

Exclamation No cutting required!

NO!

Do not listed to the last 2 posters! They are wrong, you do not have to cut the pipe on a 2 piece intake. Read the bi-pass instructions

It will be a tight fit, I used vasonline to get the valve on

Agreed, do not need to cut the pipes. Just a little elbow grease.
