you probably have to cut the pipe at the joint where the silicon/rubber coupler is or make a cut in the pipe to put the bypass valve in.

theJUMPoff is infamous around these parts

either what azrakain said or if you have a two-piece intake, it'll go right on, clamping the two pipes.

its not hard and there are no directions on where to install it. The directions do say something about how not to mount it. can't recall what it says exactly though....

you'll have to make a cut. Read teh instructions and see how NOT to mount it. make the cut and you're good to go.
