Yes, the couplers that run through the front are loose, but as you assemble and fit everything you can use a long screw driver or nut driver to tighten the clamps a little at a time. The one on the left requires a longer driver that you can stick through one of the holes in the top of the front support/beam area. Thus, you need to grab the clamp when it is loose and turn the whole thing to align with your screw driver. Then, keeping your hand around the clamp and pipe, apply pressure with the driver and turn. This was indeed a tight area to work in and there is only one way to get that passenger side clamp. You NEED to be patient, and fit, test fit, check fit, check fit again, BEFORE tightening all the clamps.

You CAN do this! Now get out there and try again!

The way I did mine was I trimmed the plastic where the couplers go through a little, then clamped the coupler to the engine tubes and push it through from the inside of the engine bay towards the front. Once that's done then the front tubing and filters go on easy. As for the h bracket it's a 2 part assembly, you gotta take off the foam part and in the takeda box there is a very long screw that goes with the h bracket, you gotta press the h bracket down until it passes the bumper support and then you put the screw in both holes on the bottom of the h bracket n tighten.

I checked out your thread and I like that you went ahead and cut. It just makes more sense to open them up if you have the time and materials.

OP - did you try again?
