You will find the help you need there. There are quite a few good wrenches up your way.
Just remember, it is a sacrifice of their time and treat them accordingly ^^
GL with your install.

It's not that hard to install. A little patience goes a long way. Most of the time goes into finding the route that you will take. I just finished mine up yesterday, and took a few pictures along the way. In these pictures, you will see some 90 degree that are not included in the universal kit. Be prepared to need 1-2 of those. This is my second time around with this kit. I didn't use near all of the pipes the first time, and the extras came in handy for the re-work. You will see a couple of pieces where I used a short piece that was cut off of another to make a small extension. That will be where you see two couplers together. The extra piece is hidden under the couplers. Keep in mind that every time you cut a pipe, that you are loosing the bead on that pipe, and therefore adding potential for failure.
Lower piping - I'll update this tomorrow after verifying exactly which pipes are used. It's a 90coupler coming off the IC to a 45 pipe and another (not sure).
Front view with bumper removed. I used a 90 coupler, a cut 1/2 of a 180 pipe, straight coupler, 45 pipe, 45 coupler, 45 pipe. This takes it just through the fender hole. Note the IC mounting in this pic. The top is a straight piece of flat bar, with a piece bent 90 degree piece bolted to it, and then bolted into the hood latch bracket. Lowers will be seen better in the later pic.
Lower IC mounts. Two pieces of flat bar. One stays flat, and bolts into the radiator support. The threaded holes are already there. Maybe they were once for an engine undercover? The other piece will almost go straight across like the other, but it needs to bend a little to compensate for the taper of the IC. You can see where I bent mine.
Inside the bay. Start with another 90 coupler, then a straight pipe(mine has BOV), straight coupler, then the other half of that 180 pipe I cut in half, and then whatever coupler you need to mate up with your 3000 pipe. My HKS pipe is 2.75, so I had to go 2.75/2.50 reducer to make it match. A stock 3000 pipe is 2.25 there.
