Seen a few people say that its hard to get the slip tube on, but if you put the little tube in the freezer it slips on like a hot knife through butter... Just thought Ide throw that out there for anyone about to take on the daunting task of a longtube install Any other tips may help out some people take less time doing them, so post away if you've got any!

When I installed mine the #1 primary tube was in my garage and it was December, so it was already cold enough. Then, I just borrowed my wifes hairdryer (she was at work ) and placed it in the collector underneath. The hairdryer heated up the header so that it was hot to the touch, then I slid the tube in.

Worked flawlessly, except I forgot to bring the hairdryer in until after my wife got home from work.
