Help with Installing comptech icebox

Ok,

So I have this Icebox sitting in my room, but I've been hesitant to do it myself. Mainly because the instructions say that I should flush the coolant system.

Why would installing the icebox require flushing the coolant system?

Does anyone know why?

To answer your question...There's a small radiator in the stock air box. To install the Icebox, you have to remove this small radiator and re-route the 2 hoses that supplied it. If you're a carefull with these hoses, i.e., lay them on a towel so they don't drip all over the place and don't let anything get into them, you do not have to flush the cooling system. I didn't.
