so check out what little surprise I had for me today....

so i installed a bomz intake about 6 months ago or so and what i didnt realize was that the fitment wasnt as good as i thought it would be.

Well after 6 months of the engine moving slightly back when i shift into drive, a hole developed from it hitting one of the stationary objects in the engine (i have no idea what the part is. My uncle and i spent 4 hours patching the hole up with this stuff i now call miracle tape, and a piece of plumbing rubber that is strapped there to cushion any further contact.

In all, we had to cut the pipe about a quarter of an inch and had to do some pulling and tugging to get everything to fit on top of doing a bunch of other s***. Now, I am stuck with a patched up pipe. Here are the pictures so you can see for yourself. Sorry the second pic is blurry i was riding in a car to Lowe's.

That mystery rubbing part is probably called the brake master cylinder if your talking about the bend nearest the throttle body. Pics are a no show.

Yup, that's where they all hit the brake master cylinder.

Our engines move so much, it's difficult to tell while installing, how much clearance you'll need.

can you see the pics now??

Yeah I see them, bummer bro just installed mine today to.. hopefully that doesnt happen soon

If you cut a 1/2 an inch of the pipe where it goes into the intake it will clear the brake master cylinder no problem

you're hitting the master cylinder. generally, cutting a piece off of the piece that goes to the throttle body, or just plain tweaking the fitment, will fix that
