I used electrical tape to secure the ends (they get covered by the hose clamps) but then switched to the metal foil tape I purchased when I wrapped my intercooler. Wear some mechanic gloves (but you'll still get poked a few times) I used a old set of Fisker scissors to cut the braid to size. Purchase some good hose clamps to replace the OEM squeeze type.
[quote=BrianBrave]It's actually really easy - I used the Stainless Steel Braided Kit from Spectre (P/N 7498) that was on sale at Kragen for $43. quote]
I assume you have to disconnect the hoses first? If so what fluids to you have to refill?

I don't want to bore you with more of my engine bling, but I have one more modification.
Max (maxcichon) suggested a change for my intake covers, and I agreed with him. He's fabricated rounded covers for me. Take a look. I think Max did a fantastic job again.
Thanks Max.

You have to bend the negative battery cable DOWN 90 degrees to clear the edge of the cover. You don't want it to abrade through!
Lookin' good!
