Default Ugh! Stratmosphere V8 4in intake woes

As many times as I have tried to install this thing in NEVER FITS PROPERLY!!!! WTF? Anyone else have this problem. It's like the hole cut in the seperater piece is misplaced and too small.

It takes a bit of trial and error.

Default I don't think that is the case with mine

I've put quite a few hours readjusting and reinstalling and the same result everytime. Is the engine bay slightly different in 04 vs 05?

Default Don't think so... although...

there are some differences in installation steps given by Stratmosphere. In any case, Sia has an '04 and I have an '05, and we both had trouble getting it in. In fact, it is not 'perfectly' on, but toed a bit from the large intake to that metal reducer piece. They won't fit if mounted in line with each other as one would expect. I've installed 2 and they're both the same way. Just get it on enough that when you screw that clamp down strap, that it won't wiggle itself off. And to add, my brother ordered the v.2 Hyperflow and it looked to be the same dimensions as my v.1 Hyperflow. I wonder if they were just getting rid of old stock?

You have to bend it so it fits in that bottom slot...I had the same prob before I realized that.
