its been a looong time..

lol..

my ractive intake is also all fuxored..

I just realized its been rubbing STILL all this time..

had to cut another 1/4" off to get it away from the Master Cylinder...

(flame2)
 
Does the intake have a bracket to hold it in place? That could help with the master cylinder problem. Try taking your car to a local exhaust shop. They can probably relocate the hangers for cheap and your problems would be solved if I'm looking at the picture correctly.

it came with two brackets.. could only figure out where to put one..

and it wouldnt matter... master cylinder doesnt move.. the intake moves with the engine.. if i had stiffer engine mounts.. then it wouldnt rub..


bleh

prob gonna go to aloha muff's when I have some extra money..

stupid college is draining me..
 
The ractive axle back requires a slight touch of modification to fit properly. Thats how all of them are. If you exchanged it, you would get something just like it back. Kind of sucks, i know, but it is the least expensive you will find and sounds pretty good.
The other bracket for your air intake goes into the MAF and down to a post right in front of your battery. If you are looking at your battery from the front of the car it is the post about an 1 or so out from the left front corner. Putting your other bracket here will keep it from rubbing the master cylinder
 
i wonder if aloha mufflers could make a midpipe. kevin posted that he had an exhaust made for cheap and it was ss mandrel too. but idk where from
