Is the APR bipipe supposed to be this much of a #@$!%$* PITA to install?!

Default I use silicon spray

It helps slip the pipe over the TB nice and easy, then evaporates in a few minutes.

A tap with a dead blow hammer helps as well.

Default I had to use a rubber mallet on mine, and that got it in. Very tight fit. To take it out, I had to

place a flathead screwdriver between the bipipe and the throttle body, and gently/carefully apply leverage to get it started.
