Not to be a nagg, but whats the status on the rest of the intakes !?

And its a good thing to remember not to tighten any clamps when the intake is hot causing it to possibly deform in any way, sounds kinda funnny but ill keep it in mind !

Is this intake worth even buying right now since everyone is having a problem with the clamps and etc?

Clamps do come loose with vibration and motion. I had an Airaid prior to this install and it did the same thing. As far as I'm concerned, its just good practice to always look and check to ensure all components are tight and seated properly. I don't think there is an issue with the clamps and not sure if there is another kind that would be less susceptible to loosening up out there or not, and I don't think Loc-Tite it on the menu.

Another satisfied customer. Thanks to Steve and the whole VR team. My intake and throttle body are off ever so slightly, I'm going to call the tech team tomorrow and get that straightened out. I wouldn't mind ditching the radiator brackets all together, but want to see what the have in store first.

I'm not gonna search through 110 pages of this to look, but does anyone know if this will fit for people who are running a catch can? It looks like it takes up the space where the can is now (RX Can in my case)

Install the can on the drivers side, like I did. Order the drivers side install bracket.
