I'm getting a wierd but not odd feeling.. :jlol::jlol: HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This thing pins you now!

Anyway going along at lets say 60 kph so i dount sound lik i'm breaking the speadlimit, Punch it wham!
:hahahehe: I hit 180 kmph in no time honestly i would say it must have been 5-6 seconds, and this is on a cold road... I need to get my Vbox out and do some runs..
the only thing i have left to put on right now is the gutted down pipes, but I'm HAPPY!!! :)

Well yeah, the Wagner's just fall right into place when you have nothing to do with the actual installation:vhmmm:

To be fair, I've only installed one set of Wagner's, and that was on Jame's (JRS-RS6) car. My issues were that the upper mounting studs were improperly spaced, and were over-sized. This made it hard to seat the intercoolers into their mounting grommets, and when they were seated, they wanted to "pop" back out. When they were finally secured in place, the intercooler cores were pressed up against the frame rail due to the sheer size of them. This concerned me, as they could technically rub through due to vibration, but probably not really an issue. I had to do major surgery to the carbon shrouds on multiple occasions to get the bumper to slide on and off freely, although this is more of an issue if you decide to retain the fog lamps. With out the fog lamp brackets, clearance is much less of an issue.

Palette good to hear things are going well. My Wagner install was like yours (did it myself though), Went fairly smooth and fit without any trimming or rubbing although the grommets V8weight mentioned were tight, but mine did not pop out, I did lubricated them with a touch of Dow Corning 111 Silicone grease before install.
