My once stock FD is no longer stock. I installed my M2 c/f intake box the other day.. with the hard pipes.. sorry, no pics yet.. I do have a bit of a problem.. My hood will not shut properly.. it makes the right side of the hood pop-up a little bit.. and I'm really unhappy with that.. so, anyone that has installed a M2 c/f intake box.. does it effect your hood? And I already had to grind down some of the hard pipe.. and it still doesn't shut like it's suppose to.. I may just have to re-do everything over just to make sure I installed it right.. any suggestions?

Benny

maybe you put it in wrong? btw.. gg on the airbox!

I'm pretty positive I put it in right.. but idk.. Do you have a M2 box?

vosko

it should fit right........hmm never had one

TYSON

Mine fit perfectly. It was the pipe to the intercooler that rubbed the hood.

I think I know what I forgot.. I didn't know I was suppose to use the stock airbox flanges to bolt the M2 box down.. that should pull it down some.. looks good, Tyson. that pic makes me think that I should have gotten black couplers instead of blue..

My box already has a pretty tight fit.. that's why I didn't even think about mounting it.. btw, TYSON, is that a med M2 intercooler? How well does everything fit up under the engine bay?

TYSON

The battery tray, intercooler and intake are are touching each other. I wouldn't buy such a big battery if I did it again, in case it decided to rub against the intercooler.



What do you mean by stock airbox flanges? I tooke everything off that belonged to the stock airbox. The M2 sits directly on the metal frame rail, there are 2 bolt holes there for you to use.

Tyson: nice bay, you may want to replace your battery w. a 51R size in the future.

TYSON

Umm, yeah, I took a different path. That battery cost me 250 Canadian pesos. I can't just get rid of it.
