K&N FIPK???

I installed it but it was a very tight fit to get the rubber peace into the heat shield that the filter is connected to and it is not lined up perfect with the throttle body, what can i do to fix this??

I had to trim mine because it was too long, It wasn't a big deal.

Post some pics of this when you are done. I would really like to see what it looks like when it's installed.

Not the trim the rubber piece that the intake tube goes into, and the filter connect to, that goes in the hole in the heat shield it was a tight fit and caused the tube not to line up perfect with the throttle body, so i had to force it over but it still isnt flush with the throttle body??

I installed mine this afternoon, all I can say is, play with it to make it fit. Thats what I had to do. Mine is an automatic transmission though, so I don't know if there's any difference. If you put the rubber piece all the way into the heatshield, the tube should fit firmly into the throttle body. Maybe mess with the brackets? It lines up sort of at an angle (the heatshield) so if its not aligned correct at the bolts, this could throw it off. Thats my only guess though. Mine fit perfectly.

Did you have to cut the rubber tube that connects to the intake manifold and the intake tube??

Yeah. I cut about an inch off. Just enough so it fit perfectly without any arch.

I was told the only bars that fit are the Neuspeed and DC versions.
