Anyone else have trouble fitting the Brad Band intake pipe???

Hello,

I finally got some couplers (as well as my new SC trim) and put my blower back in (96 TA). I tried to install the Brad Band intake pipe at the same time but had difficulty fitting it! I had the Sway bar off, but I still had trouble. It seemed as though there was inadiquate clearance between the intake on the blower and the brake lines and K member. (also, it seemed as thought he bends in the pipe may not line up to get past the swaybar and to the filter).
What's the trick here? I put the origional intake back on, and am thinking about either cutting this pipe or ditching it. . . What am I doing wrong?
-Does anyone have a picturers of one installed they can send me???

Thanks,
-Justin

My friends and I (3 of us) are all using the Brad Brand tube with S Trim Vortechs. The Brad Brand tube fits on all 3 cars (2 95 Z28s, 1 96 Bird). Keep playing with it, it will fit without modification.

Thanks for the reply. I spent several hours over the weekend trying to get it to fit again but had no luck. It hit's the power steering lines. (It also hit the cover over the steering joints, untill I pulled them off). I had a couple other people try for a while two. We've pretty much all come to the conclution the only way to fit it is to cut it and angle it more towards the drivers side to clear the PS lines.

You don't have any pictures of it installed do you? -I'd like to see how it sits in relation to the PS lines.

Thanks,
-Justin
