That doesn't sound right at all. Hmmm....do you think you have one of the pipes on backwards?

I dont know if the Z is the same or not . But on my G the under pan has to be cut to make room for the pipe over by the BOV . It sucks after you take off that pan a bunch of times and it sags more and more .

Yeah your panel should fit fine with the Vortech. Must be just a misalignment of a pipe or something.

I'd guess that it is probably an easy fix. Do you have any pics we can see?

my undertray fits fine on my G but there is a slight bulge where the pipe is. you might need to loosen a clamp and rotate the pipe upwards a bit

i had to cut and remove a few of the plastic pieces that went perpendicular to the ground, but not the actual undertray itself
