You dont use any stock pipes, the pipes supplied are two silicone hoses, one is U shaped that goes from the top of intercooler to the throttle body and the other is L shaped that is attached to the lower section.
Sorry mate didnt get any pics as i was working alone, i only have one of the intercooler on the car

I too had this strange phenomena happen to me when I fitted my headlights. Tried to shut the bonnet afterwards and nothing! Try adjusting the bracket right up, I did and it catches fine now. I've got a felling it's to do with the cable moving out of it's normal position on the drivers inner wing as well
