Default Help! header install
So everything is back in the car except for the AIR hose that goes into the driverside header. The reason being is that when I put it down to the header, the angel is all off! What can i do to fix this?! thanks

angle the AIR tube and fitting. There's no way around it other than deleting the AIR system all together and getting block off plates.

Yeah i live in cali, I'll try to bolt it down first and then bring the hose over to it. If that doesnt work, i'll try to splice some hose into it.

I had to do the same thing with my install. Luckily my brother's shop had a pipe bender and we just bent the AIR tube a little more.

My angle was a little off as well, I just got the bolts started by hand while having a buddy lift up on the AIR hose to straighten it out.
