your hood closes flush?? so you didnt use the metal inserts and oem grommets?

Correct. No issues since they sit a little bit more flush.

So taking those grommets off and steel inserts made sit lower ... I need to take my shield off and re do it and see how it goes ... did you originally use the inserts oem ???

Nope... I saw how it fit and decided I'd try without them. I'm gonna play with it this week to make my recirc hoses fit better or I'll just take them off again and cap the pipes.

Ok cool man ... thanks for the info ... next weekend I will take the heat shield off and re install without the oem grommets and see how it goes... for now I will leave with my custome foam linning lol

Does your hood close flush thou ?? Or is it still sticking out a little bit ... for the hoses you will have to cut them shorter bro ..

 

[DiabloStinger]

My hood I'd perfect. No issue with it closing.

Do you have to cut the hoses? I’m trying to keep everything as intact as possible incase I want to put things back

 

[Angel]

You don’t have to cut the hoses ... you just have to get the right angle on the tube ... I personally did cut mine for the xs BOV so it fits perfect and bought an extra set at the dealer for the oem BOV... but no you don’t have to cut them .... I just did because I bought an extra pair ..

 

[Angel]

what I will do this weekend is completely remove the intake and take off the oem grommets and install to see if it clears the hood completely .... diablo stinger had no issue and I did so I am going to follow his lead

 

[DiabloStinger]

Even if you did cut them, you are only taking off like 1/2" and the stock intakes would still mate up fine.

Hey Angel, I didnt watch the video, but hope everything turned out great. Glad you are done stressing over your warranty visit.

Angel do you have any photos of the hood "not being aligned correctly"?

I don’t Nick ..... I didn’t take any .... I can install the rubber lining back on and take pictures for you if you would like ?? I can text you the pics ?? Does that work ?

 

[NS_Stinger]

Is the intake making contact with any of your aftermarket charge pipes from your intercooler upgrade?

 

[Angel]

Nope not even close with the aftermarket pipe there is actually more clearance .... it’s basically the rubber linning is too thick or sitting to high on the shield so when you close the hood the rubbers seems to keep the hood from closing flush ... it still closes but you can see when it’s not even ....

Installed mine today. Followed Kharz' directions and they fit perfectly. I cut nothing. Fitment was on the money. Hood closes easily. They are much louder than I expected. You can hear as soon as the turbo spools, and the blowoff is clear. They look aight. Wish the filters were red personally, but it's allll good.

Total install time being careful and never having done it, 1.5 hours. I feel like I could install them in 45 mins if I had to do it again.
