BBK CAI install issue
I just installed a BBK fender CAI kit in my car.
No matter how I shift it around or angle the tubes
I cant seem to get the tube that goes from the MAF
sensor to the throttle body intake to stop rubbing off
the front strut tower.
There seems to be about a 1/8 inch of clearance between
the two and when the car idles it occasionally hits the body.
I do have Cobra uppers and lowers on it, Im not sure if that is
a issue. Im thinking that these are designed for a factory type
replacement.
I could probably cut off a little on the pipe and that may buy
me a little more clearance.
Has anyone else had this issue before ??

Thanks for all the replies on this. My motor mounts are pretty shot.
Im sure that caused alot of the problem. I took 1/4 inch off the pipe
with a chop saw and it gave me just enough clearance so it doesnt hit
the strut tower on idle.
My next project is to swap out the motor mounts sometime in the near
future.
