Default Yeah, best way is to lift the Y pipe, just remove the Y pipe bolts

loosen the clamps on the upper intake hoses, which is connected to your diverter valves, take off the accordion hose, then lift the Y pipe up. Once its lifted up just pop that bitch off with a long flathead and replace. the FPR hose is the same diameter as the diverter line hose. its like 3mm or something. then just replace and put a nice little ziptie on that connection @ the back of the motor and you'll be golden!
