Default Intake Problem, PLEASE HELP!!!

after getting my car back from a hci swap they had to modify the intake tube for it to fit. the reason is the cobra intake is a little different with the addition of the adapter elbow for the sn95 models, and the intake spacer which made the intake sit a little higher. has anyone run into this problem and know a intake that will work effeciently... i tried a c&l u know the one that has like 4 curves still didnt fit right... any advice?

Throttle body is very limited on horsepower so I would not suggest that. There are too many other options. Your setup working with the slight modification?

On my 95 with a kenne bell the intake had to be pieced together, from what I was told (I got it used) there are 3 or 4 ebay intakes put together to make up mine, sorry about the crappy picture it was when I was first putting it back together after a blown head gasket but sometimes you just need to get the right bends and then cut them to the length you need, mines a super tight fit with the MAF sensor and its a real pain to take apart but it works and works really well.
