Default airbox

ok heres my question hopefully someone can help me on this///i have a 96 camaro that i just bought a suncoast ss hood for and a matching style ss airbox......my car now has pacesetter long tubes w/the egr/air stuff and traction control......i've visually tried to mount the airbox on top of the intake but nothing seems to fit...has anyone ever done this with a ss hood or is there a better airbox i can use...i really want to make this hood functional and all its already cut and i dont want a big hole on top of my engine to crap it all up..and i'd rather not start butchering the box to make it fit .....oh yeah plus i have a strut braise that goes directly across the motor...any help would be appreciated on this

I don't have an SS, but I would suggest removing the strut tower brace -- and try again.

The SS strut tower braces are designed differently than standard STB's. Odds are, this is because of the SS airbox.
