Installing silicone charge tube kit

[felix]

So I'm about to pull the trigger on some ddm works goodies and most of the stuff seems pretty straight forward on the install and I've found a few nice DYI articles in this forum (seriously love this forum) but, I can't find anything on the change tube kit.
It would def be a deal breaker if I had to take the front bumper off. I'm a nurse, not a mechanic.
So my question is, what's the install like on the silicone charge tube kit?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

I will race any mini van on the streets....

You will have to take the front bumper off. There really isnt any other way to reach the endcaps on the intercooler and get the tubes into place that I can think of.

If your gonna be taking the bumper off I'd recommend the intercooler diverter too while your at it.

Hey! You can be a nurse AND a mechanic. Just dive in and do it!

I could use the excuse I'm a GIRL and a nurse, but I don't.

C'mon.. You survived nursing school.. This will be cake

Ok I bought the charge tubing kit, heat shield, and shifter bushings from ddm works. Gonna attempt to remove the bumper and install the goodies. If this turns out badly I blame you, insanika

That's SO not fair.

I'll give you credit Insanika!

I'm wishing I had more money too spend on my Sonic to get similar installs going on mine...

It never ends my friend. Shifter bushings, 2 heat shields and some tubing are not the end for me. Still need a BOV and a full tune to round out the engine bay... Then I start the exhaust... then the suspension... then the brakes...f**k.

I'm hoping to be able to squeeze in a 2.0T and AWD. But that's at the bottom of my list.

I've got lots that I want to do but no time and no money to get it all done. I can not wait until my coop term where I'll be making more money

Hopefully it bolts up wider and taller than it is long, because there is precious little room from to back as it is.

I'm hoping for it to be fairly simple to overcome any fitment challenges.
