Can someone explain what exactly are these side cuts? There's no mention of a cutting tool in Tools/Items needed section so I'm just a bit confused as to what this means.
It's just a pair of wire cutters. Mine weren't able to cut the clamp, so I used a small screwdriver. I put it in where the clamp is squeezed and worked it back and forth until the clamp was loose. Just be careful if you do it this way not to be too aggressive as to put a hole in the factory intake or break the valve. Definitely use the soap they recommend for the valve removal. Good luck installation was a snap.
