Recently, there have been several people with ill-fitting intakes. I have an AEM SRI on my car, which has the same rubber hold down as the e-Bay intake. I know that Matty Mooling had some questions about this part, and some of the below pics will help describe where it is and what it does. Other pics show the elbow to the TB, as I recall that somebody else had a fitment problem with an AEM. Other pics show adequate clearance around the various parts. Hopefully, this will be a useful tool for those of you planning an install. As with any intake, you really need to put everything in loose, and wiggle stuff around to get the proper clearance and fit that you need. Then, tighten it all down.
