For my install... basically i did it once really late at night then again the next day, i sawed off pretty much the whole side of the bracket cause they just dam well kept hitting them and it was getting freaking annoying. After that it definately sat better, then i had to file the stupid intake a bit to get it to sit flush... which it is now.

BUTTTT i just went into the garage about 1 hr ago.. took the intake off completely to just do a little overhaul/ reinstall.. The dam neck of the plastic warped like Bemorecam's did!!!! Not as bad but it did bend in... so i basically tried to pry it back but no luck and it looks like crap , oh and from the beggining, the seal to the top of the hood... its all folded down and seems streched... defintately not right either.

It usually stays in place only time ive ever seen it move is at the track from consecuative runs down the 1/4 ... anyways heres some picks, i hope Vararam can help me out here cause im starting to get frustrated, and i live in Canada which does not help
I posted a few pages earlier about using a turbo clamp instead of the ones provided, it will provide positive pressure all the way around the intake horn and prevent what happened to you here. I had the exact same thing happen to me, it was from overtightening the clamp that came with the intake. Call Vararam, they'll take care of you and when you reinstall use one of these turbo clamps and it won't happen again!
