I never picked up any silicone spray or anything recommended to make the piping easier. Safe to say I’m fed up with them and the clamps now! Lol
A little dish soap in water works just fine.

I like to use a bit of glass cleaner when I'm fucking around with those tubes. Helps everything go together easily, and dries with no residue

Spit on that thang. The only way it will work if you twist that shit as hard as you can and use every cuss word you have in your inventory. Lol good luck.

Lol I’d probably take a huge pay cut compared to my current job. But it would be sick to spend some time as a ford mechanic to learn things over, and I’m sure i fk up my car just as bad as they do

Hairspray works good for couplings, and dries sticky.

I found squeeze the silicon tubing while twisting it back and forth as you're feeding it through the tight spots made it quick and easy without damaging the tube.

Air filter looks fine it just needs to clear the horn. I would be sure to make plenty of room for the filter while you have the bumper off. When you'll need to do an air filter change in the future, it will be a lot easier if you make the room now.

Holy crap, your filter is HUGE compared to mine. There's an oil cooler there on Mach's so there's only room for a filter about 2/3 as long as that, and even so you need a sledgehammer to wedge it in there.

do you have to remove the front bumper to change it or can you pull back the wheel well or lower panel to change?
