but...if you are taking the bumper off>>>

the headlights come out pretty easy and will allow easier access to the drivers side lower hose, near the battery box.....
IMO, easier access = better installation....

USE T BOLT CLAMPS...and make sure they are tight...that is all!

2 things>>>

one....they do not use a worm style gear which over time cuts into the silicone hoses and 2, they provide a much stronger grip. If you are running or plan to run modshack stage 3...i would strongly encourage you to buy good clamps...you can get them here....

i think schwing has the sizes on his fotki....<ul><li><a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/">http://www.mcmaster.com/</a</li></ul>

No. The shop I took my car to did not have to remove the bumper.

Would you recommend these for EVERY hose application, such as boost gauge install?

Or a Miniature Bolt Hose and Tube Clamps
