Do I have to remove the bumber to install IC hard pipes? I received my Cooleeze pipes and want to get them in soon, just want to make sure I attack it correctly.
Thanks.

for me i did, well i had to, i had to replace the whole bumper so why not.
you can install without taking it off, but you would have to jack up the car, and try to squeeze it in the fender hole.

i have cooleeze pipes and didnt take off the bumper. i didnt think it was that hard... just a little persuasion.
When putting it through the fender hole watch your side marker. I broke mine yesterday putting pipes in.
FYI: it depends on the year of the car. 89+ has a one piece plastic part through the fender that is an absolute bitch to pull with the bumper on without cutting it. Pre-89 is two piece and can be pulled MUCH easier.

I'm with you there...more stuff to take off, but less time and headache putting it on. Oh well, it's on now.... :bigthumb:
i wanna get hard piping done over the winter... couldf anyone give a step by step on removing the front bumper from an 89? .. i heard taking the bumper off was a bitch... im used to my integra where it was just 4 screws and have a nice day...

Yeah on my 89 I had to cut the plastic elbow that goes through the fender in 2 pieces to take it out. But i was pretty easy to get it cut, and I didn't have to take off the front bumper, at the same time i installed my intercooler.
