In there manual that i read over they show a picture of several parts that will rub and tell you that it is ok and not a problem. I Believe one of them was the uppipe from the intercooler to throttle body rubbing on the collant bottle. All they had to do was take a little more time and bend the pipeing a few more degrees to eliminate the problem. Stock manifolds is sad.The Position of the Water/meth in there kit just sitting on top of the battery. That would be someting i would do if i was just trying to make somethign work for a bit till i mounted it properly. That kits isnt cheap but it feels cheap to me after looking over the install manual.

Hmm didn't know those issues...well usually if you are the first to the market with a kit for something the edges are rough...that's why there have been like 4 or 5 LS4's that have been turboed.
