[BiturboS4] APR bi-pipe install

[California Fields]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Has anyone installed the APR bi-pipe on their S4?  If so, is the installation
complicated and intensive (requiring the disassembly of lots of parts)? Or is
it relatively easy.

Thanks, Carter.

(sorry for all of the questions today).
