Carbon Fiber Y Pipe / Diverter Valves DIY?

I'm going with these guys and was wondering if anyone had done this themselves.

Any DYI you followed?

Thanks.

Diverter valves were easy and straight forward. Y pipe is straight forward but was kind of a pain to get all the pieces lined up and together. Tight fit in there. But both are easy

Where are the diverter valves located? Do I have to lift the car?

Does the YPipe come with instructions?

Thanks Ben.

Open the hood it's pretty self explanatory. If it looks confusing you need to pay someone to do it

The passenger side looks okay but it seems the space is super tight on the driver side. I will give it a try nonetheless.

Yea it's a tight fit to get it all in place and tightened. I put a little Grease on the inside of the cupler made it a little easier to slide the pipe in
