It was quite simple for me to do it. I initially made my cuts too short and had to cut it down a little bit more but the hardest part was ensuring a straight cut, I used a razor blade, But I think anything would work. The little rubber piece that holds the purge valve will rotate on itself so I rotated the rubber piece to line up with the original design. I pulled the entire Air intake to the top passenger side of the motor and took the airbox out for room. I can’t think of anything else to tell you to make it an easier. I hope that helps!!My wife's 2016 just started throwing the P1450 code. I tried to get a replacement evap purge assembly but every supplier I have tried says they are backordered, no word on when any will arrive. Yesterday I ordered the Dorman splice in valve you did - any tips on doing the install?
