I guess I'm a little slow.. I can put the brackets in, but I can't line up the brackets with the mountings on the intake pipe flanges... arrgh.. I guess I'll go muscle it into place and finger it out. Thanks for the help, and thanks a lot for the pics!

It's still a no-go... lemme post pics of the troubles..

This is a pic of how the L bracket doesn't meet the intake.

This shows how the L bracket is mounted to the subframe

This is the 'in between' bracket that keeps the filters apart

Does it look right? spacing and all?

I can take more pics... also, with the 'in between' bracket on, I'm finding it difficult to get the 2 filters low enough to clear the hood. And the second (lower) filter pushes pretty hard on the water hose beneath it. Also, the second (lower) intake hose (stock plumbing) is super-squished against the AC hardline that runs up the fender on the passenger side.
