FRC help I just got my frc's and I need help installing them. How am I supposed to fit them in there? I really understand why it didn't come with them. Do I have to move/remove anything...the tape on the fuel lines...etc. I'd prefer not to remove anything because I'm not sure how much I'll like them until I can get them put on. I haven't done much to my car yet, and under hood is stock except for lid and baffles. Thanks.

Sorry, one person had a legitimate question. These were purchased from a member who bought them from afterthoughts. They are cut to fit a 2002 A4, which is what I've got, so I know they should work. Everyone seems to post that they had a hard time getting theirs on, but no one has posted tips on putting them on easier. Also, she didn't send me any instructions. Thanks.

Thanks, I wrote the instructions but I would like to give Steve Goodwin a whole lot of thanks for supplying the photos for me. My digital photography skills are lacking to say the least and he really pulled through for me with doing the step by step photos to my written instructions.
Thanks

I thought I'd step in to describe the 'scraped knuckles' approach. I installed my FRC's a number of years ago (before the aftermarket ones were available). I decided that I didn't want to modify anything on the engine, at all. That meant that nothing on the engine would be disconnected, relocated or removed. The only alternative was to do major surgery on the FRC's. The linked pic's show the modified FRC's & the FRc's installed.

The moral of the story is that you can install FRC's without changing anything on the engine, but you need to be prepared the modify the FRC's and (oh, yes) shed a little blood.

Thanks to all who helped. They are on and look pretty good, though I may work a bit more on the fitment. Parbreak - your instructions were invaluable.
Also, though he didn't post here, thanks to PontiacFan, who added the following:
1) Remove the throttle cable support bracket which is located on top of the intake manifold, in the back driver's side. It sticks up too far & prevents the frc from setting down & attaching properly. The throttle cable bracket is held on with a bolt which requires a 10mm socket or wrench.
I'd post up pics, but I don't have a digital camera. When I can get around to taking a pic and scanning it, I'll post it up.
