Default Installed FAST Intake and TB-Air Intake Does Not Fit

I just installed a FAST intake and a Holley throttle body. How do i hook up the air intake and MAF sensor? Since it sticks out so far everything does not fit. How do I make it shorter?

The stock bellow will fit over a 90mm throttle body. I had to heat mine up with a heat gun and work it over the TB

the slp bellow will fit better. also there are bigger MAF housings out there and bigger bellows. don't have any links but i'm sure some1 will chime in. also there are CAI's that eliminate the lid and make it easier to fit but aren't exactly necessary.

The intake and throttle body now stick out more towards the front. When i connect the bellow, mafs, and lid it sticks out further than the air filter housing. Is there a shorter connection I can put between the tb and mafs?

It seems to be the Holly 90mm TB, cause I had the exact same problem. Luckly, I was getting rid of my MAF, so a straight silicone tube was enough.

what lid do you have? what it looks like to me is the maf should be slid into the lid not using a coupler on it. That would give you about 1'' of room then you would need the coupler

my maf doesnt seem to stick out as far with my slp lid

where did u get that bellow?

and yeah OP u need to slide the MAF housing into the lid. if it wont fit use a heat gun, very carefully, to coax it on. or if u have a bigger MAF housing than stock, you will need a new lid that will fit over it. i know fast toys has over sized lids.
