Well I picked the kit up from Corksport on Thursday while they were lowering my car on a set of AutoExe springs. I was waiting around and just decided to go ahead and do it. I was told that I am the first person to have this kit on minus the one on Corksports car. So I was pretty pumped about that of course! As far as the install goes it is pretty straight forward. I know a couple MS6 owners have said the install was pretty time consuming and a pain but I found it to be the opposite. The instructions were excellent absolutely no issues there. The only problem I did run into was the damn hose clamps. Some of them IE the two on the IC gave me a headache. Once you get a hang of it no problems! All in all time wise I would say right about 5.5 hrs. This was done in between the hours of 5 and 1030 pm at my apartment with nothing but the basic tools. It was obviously dark out and the only lighting I had was one of those little head mounted LED lights. I would say you need to have some experience with working on cars prior to undertaking this project. But once again the instructions are immaculate!
The quality of the product is hands down top notch work. Fitment is outstanding, no pipes hit anywhere and there is no metal cutting involved. The only item that needs to be cut is the IC cover to clear the pipe. The only tight spot I ran into was the BOV. The Turbosmart BOV is pretty big(probably the biggest) but it still fits. The intercooler is a nice piece! There is no need to cut the front bumper in anyway which was a seller for me!
I did get chance to drive my car this morning after doing another quick check on the pipes. Starts up with absolutely no problems and does not throw any CELs. It is raining here right now so I couldnt get on it in 1st-3rd but I did hop on the freeway for a couple of pulls. Let me tell you this thing pulls hard! It seemed very smooth too! I am running the BOV in VTA because, well, that is the only option for this kit. So far so good no popping or surging. I am thinking about switching to the HKS SSQV soon though. I will give you an update in this thread when it gets dry out.
For all of you "the filter is gonna get wet" people. It wont! It was pouring today....I mean heavy huge rain drops and I saw absolutely no water on the filter or in the ducting. Just thought I would throw that out there.
Overall I give the product a 10/10! Corksport as a business 10/10 quick install on the springs and they were very helpful with any questions I had, pretty cool dudes! The install I give it a 9/10 can be a pain but man is it worth it!
If you want to see any other pictures of anything specific let me know.
