Default SLP cold air intake

So i recently bought an SLP cold air intake, the one with the dual filters, and I can't get it to fit right. I have a trick flow elbow and it won't do a direct fit. I was wondering if anyone on here with this cai had to chop off part of the elbow to make it fit or if maybe I'm missing something here lol.

I think there are two version of the SLP intake, one for speed density cars and one for MAF cars. If you got one for a speed density car, I think the intake would probably be longer to account for the lack of a MAF sensor. I'm not really certain about any of that. I'm just repeating what I've read, and it sounds logical.

I just realized something I don't have the panel. I'm going to order it. Yeah mine has the mass airflow sensor. I think I'm going to go ahead and take up your help offer if I can't get it on today lol. It's been frustrating me.

when i put my lingenfelter cai on it wouldn't fit either, i have a vortec elbow but i had to cut part of that off because it was to long, probably encase it was going on a 93 car. so you could try looking at you elbow and maybe cutting it, otherwise they might be right about you having the wrong part.

I have the slp and a jegs elbow and I had to cut the end of the elbow off to get it to fit right. If I remember I had to cut over an inch off.

21014, for 94-97 (MAF cars) only one they offer. I had to notch mine around the MAF housing's square area to get it to fit on a TFS creamic elbow. It's still a pain to R&R.
