Okay, so I install my ZZP 3" intake that came in today, install was going fine, got done, went to go get gas, crank the wheel all the way to the right, and my ******* tire is rubbing the plastic wheel well, I stick my hand under there and the piping from the intake is pushing the wheel well out like 2 inches, and there is now some wear marks!!

I fucked with the fitment for nearly 2 hours, and no matter what I cannot get this ******* thing to fit for the life of me, without bulging my wheel well! Why is this happening? The fitment on this thing is dick! Has anyone else had this problem? Or know how to correct it?

 

Zip ties FTW

 

..You're kidding right?

 

off subject but u should buy my downpipe lol.

 

No I am not actually. I had to rig my Rebel Autoworxs 3" CAI. A drill and some zip ties can do wonders lol.

 

Theres got to be a way without rigging it.. Like holy ****, $220 on a product, made by the company who holds the record for the worlds fastest SS/SC and their intake fits like *****.

If anyone who had this intake would be so kind as to post a picture of it installed, I will offer handjobs.

 

Well I would contact them first. If not you will have to figure it out on your own. That's what I had to do. My solution worked. I basically pulled the lower half of the intake towards the engine and away from the wheel well. I put a zip tie around the intake and another through a hold I drilled. I know this is rigging it, but it has worked for almost two years now

 

So I take it you had the same problem?

 

worlds fastest ss/sc's in a straight line.
look at what is going on, trying to shove a 3" diameter pipe into a crammed as it is engine compartment, now what would the logical thing be to think.
if you're gonna bawl about
A. do what black ss/sc said
B. trade someone for one of the other intakes

 

See if you can find the zip tie

 

Yea it sucks when you turn your wheel and hear a rubbing noise. And when you realize your intake is pushing against the plastic in the wheel well you want to throw the damn thing at the mail man

 

I don't see it!

Maybe I need to mess with the fitment some more. I don't know. I know I get frustrated easy, but holy **** this thing is way off. It sounds AMAZING though.. The SC sounds completely different.

 

i fount it

 

ill trade u my injen intake

 

should've photoshopped it out and had everyone like

 

It's just above the filter

 

I don't really want to rig it, so I'll probably give it another go.. I wish I could find some installed pictures. Might help my cause a little. It's a little difficult when a product doesn't come with instructions, and on top of it, no installed pictures so I can't even compare.

Kinda sucks.

 

i'm interested in a downpipe.......is it catted, have an extra o2 bung, and 2.5" exit flange?

 

mine fits decent, i bought the crinkly black. but im also lowerd almost herafrush.
so my tire hits it from time to time.

 

same lol i have a injen too.. ill take a ZZP product over anything on the market..

 

This is just what I wanted to read while waiting for mine to come in the mail...

 

Haha! I'm sorry! Maybe I'm just stupid, I'm not sure. I swear though that there is no way the damn thing fits without bulging my wheel well.

 

i got the same problem, i just try not to take sharp right turns anymore lol. one day ill just zip tie it

 

my ***** fit fine, not understanding. btw i had issues with my 3in fujita intake rubbing so i cut and rewelded it now no issues. i understand u wont and dont wanna do this but its send it back or this. good luck

 

Damn, well at least I'm not the only one. I bent the bracket a bit to help it fit better, no rub as far as I can tell yet, but it's definitely bulged still.



Also, did anyone have problems using your stock MAF bolts? Because mine don't stay in the new tubing, at all.
