Blower hoses

Not had the r52 a short time but like the idea and look of the silicone blower hoses. I assume it's just remove the intercooler cover and then clamps. Is there much more to it than that?

The stock boots hold fine and are much easier to install.

That said, there are plenty of people running them, but they are more prone to leak due to install error or the fact that the stock clamps can't get them tight enough.

Stock inter cooler hose work great, just with age you can get some cracks on high mileage.
