I have some FRC's that need to be installed but before I do, I have some questions.
1. Is there an easy way to install them? Iv heard it can take a couple of hours... does anyone have an tricks/ instructions? It would be greatly appreciated.
2. Did you guys put reflective tape or the back of them or do you think its unnecessary. I'm not sure how hot they will get. Please let me know and thanks in advance.

I recommend putting the heat tape on the bottom of them as well.

One dumb question... when you said "If you have a STB, it must be removed to install the FRC's. The oil cap & dipstick have to be removed for the passenger side as well. On the driver side, you have to remove all the heat tape on the 2 fuel lines. "
Whats an STB? thanks again

The second picture I provided is an actual STB bar. The other picture is how it sits once installed in an engine bay. I think the picture of it installed in mine will show you why it needs to be removed to install the FRCs.

I cleaned my engine bay very thoroughly 2 summers ago. Just maintained it since. I use Z6(Zaino) to clean my FRCs with usually.
