Here's your first iTrader!
Some advice if your doing the install yourself: the two hoses I included are cut to the length that is stated in the installation manual (2" & 1.75"). When I installed mine, I actually didn't have the manual so I randomly cut a hose to sizes that would fit properly and found those to be much shorter than what the manual stated. So if you have any difficulties attaching those small breather hoses, I recommend just trimming them until they are at a length that fits easily and tightly.
Another thing that gave me a really hard time is the two ducts that lead into the OEM intake boxes from outside. It never stated in the manual you had to take those out and you'll find that the Nismo filters will hit those ducts if they aren't removed.
I don't know if there's a guide showing how to do this online somewhere or some ridiculously easy process to pull them out. The way I did it was to remove the 4 plastic clips on top of the OEM bumper and reach in the back side of each side to remove a metal plate that keeps you from pulling the bumper back.
The metal plate is located roughly in these areas behind the bumper and the bolt was rather awkward for me to reach. Hopefully you'll have better tools than me and this part will be easy.

After that you can just bend the bumper far enough to pull the ducts through without much force.
Anyway I hope you get to this since its in the iTrader message box.
Enjoy your intakes, they'll sound amazing.
Thanks again.
