S600 Intercooler Disaster
Hey guys. This is my second 2003 S600, but the first one I will ever upgrade.
I bought this baby from an abusive owner a few months back, and I'm putting her back together. Now, I'm attempting to rectify the so-called "upgrades" to the intercooler system.
There are HUGE clear cooling lines going from the intercooler radiator/pump to the tops of the units, those have to go, obviously.... but when I was switching my air filters today I noticed some Mickey Mouse at the front of the engine. I see these spliced cooling lines on the driver side, and a missing line at the passenger side. The coolant reservoir for the engine is not leaking, nor are the clear intercooler hoses, so what are these lines and missing line?
Thanks in advance!

Probably nothing missing, they just ran new lines away from the exhaust manifolds/heat. The stock hardlines there have some of the coil pack mounting brackets built-in so it's better not to remove them even if they have been bypassed.
