****, i pulled the oil filler elbow off my gf's car and i have a problem.
the damn stock elbow doesnt fit the new valve covers and the k&n filter doesnt fit the damn elbow.
i had the filter on the covers directly,but the damn last coil doesnt let the filter completely in. I'm going to have to find a custom elbow. any ideas?
(excuse the fingerprints all over the filter..lol)
and this is what it looks like with out the filter.

i had a bunch of problems with mine. the heater hose is really tight and gets in the way. the last coil is really hard to get too and i had to break off a piece off the plastic that holds the heater hose.i wish the listing on ebay would have stated how much modding they required.
well I might try and relocate and drill the last last coil like haulu said. if i get the filter to fit would i be ok? i also pluged the tb and mani. I've been told that i also need a ls6 valley cover. what will happend if i dont get one and run it with the plugs and a filter?

well these ****** valve covers are leaking oil from the psg side. i cant see why. i bolted down the bolts till they pretty much spun...lol! i dont have a torque wrech,but usually the stock one just need to be a lil more than hand tight and they are fine. I tried driving the car to Matts house today and i saw the car smoking up and leaking oil on to the headders. I might just have to go with a different set of valve covers.
