Aps is actually moved out towards the front, so it fits infont of the plenum but at the same height!

strut bars aren't exactly complicated pieces - why not seek out a custom fab? probably your only option : (

Do the Killa-Beez mod and run some twine and zip ties across the struts......that'll work

then why not complain to GTM??? you spent a lot of money so at least they send you pipes that fit what they are supposed to.

because we complained to them over the coarse of 2 months just to get the kit we ordered and together and on time, not worth the hastle of trying to go through it all again and to switch he piping out for it more than likely not being able to fit again

It looks like Ace has different piping on the passenger side then you do. Maybe he didn't get the revised piping.

all that money spent gets you parts that are missing or dont fit, and 2 months of constant calls to GTM to get them.
joe finally got his injector seals.. ya know, almost a year later.
