Default Victor Jr. W/Intake Elbow.com Elbow Problems
Ok I Decided to go with a Intake Elbows.com Elbow, and I went to go fit it, but it hits my Stock Firehawk hood. Has anyone else had this problem?
If anyone has pictures of their set up i would appreciate it

Brian

It won't flow as much because of the tight bend, but it will fit under your hood. Which is more important?

We have found that it also helps to mill the intake down some as well.
