Anyone else have fit problems with JLT ram air intake?

Nope it doesn't. Don't know why it would work on mine and other's but not yours. Is it really that bad where you can't position it to work at all? The filter is a monster and I tell ya I can tell it gets alot of air from the shaker because when I clean the filter most of it is fairly clean but the area of filter toward the inlet tube is black.

it looks like you have the MAF and filter angled downward from the silicone sleeve, which would allow the filter to clear the plastic tubing. I never tried that because I figured everything should fit squarely. Who knows, it might have worked

that's why they used flexible fittings as it gives room for a little adjustment.

I don't think I could have adjusted it down any farther because the filter was already rubbing on my wiring. I'm sure cutting 3/4 of an inch off the plastic tube would have fixed it but I didn't want to start hacking away on it.

I still think a shorter tube and a recess molded into the rubber elbow for the strut tower would fix any fit issues people might have.
