i think you'll have to make a couple cuts and bend back the rad. support, at the least. would probably make a CAI more difficult to fit too, RSX CAI anyways, since i had issues before with it hitting the transmission, and the RBC points the CAI towards it even more.

I'm almost positive you have to cut the core support ... but then, I don't know.

I was prepared to butch my support in the future. now hearing that it will only need a little trim and bend makes me happy

well i make custom cold air intakes so i aint too worried about CAI.... but when we test fitted the RBC on my car all i did was take a little dremel and about 15 minutes worth of grinding it fit... not a big deal IMO

hmmm...interesting....lemme know how it works out. wouldn't all that grinding hurt the integrity of the manifold in the long run?
