Do I need to prep or paint these pipes before installation?

Aluminum resists oxidation naturally, so these don't require priming or painting unless you want them color-matched to your engine bay. Raw finish is fine for functional use.

Are the clamps the right size for my setup?

Yes—the clamps in this kit are sized specifically for 2.25" diameter tubing. They'll cinch down on any 2.25" pipe, OEM or aftermarket.

Can I customize the pipe lengths for my layout?

The eight pieces give you standard segments; you can reuse clamps to adjust routing, but you'd need a tubing cutter to shorten individual pipes if needed. Measure your intercooler-to-turbo path before ordering to confirm this kit covers your run.
