Default FRC Install help

I'm trying to intstall my OEM 'vette FRC's on my '00 Z28. I made all the cuts already (piece of cake with a dremel). I can't get them to sit right at all. Anyone have any suggestions?

A couple of thoughts:

On the passenger side, the harness in the back requires that you cut extra, double check that.

On the drivers side, the EGR manifold in the back requires that you cut extra, be sure to leave plenty of space for the fuel line and return hose.

ok, i got the driver's side on. it doesn't sit perfectly flush with the intake manifold runners, but it looks pretty damned good compared to stock. It seems like the little "snaps" near the valve covers are too far away for the FRC's to fit right.

on to the passenger side...

The FRC's are in. The passenger side is sitting about as perfect as I could've hoped. The passenger side only took 20 mins to cut and to install. The driver's side still sits a little too high in the back.

Overall, they look pretty good IMO.

Thanks to everyone at LS1tech.com for all the past posts on this topic!
