bought them last week installed today and in order to run my cai the hood won't close, and why don't they sell just their intake?

The injen kit sucks, hands down. I previously had the whole shabam and it all fit and I was able to close the hood. What intake do you have? Try looking for the injen intake, used I saw one a few days ago on eBay

what's wrong with its that can't be true are you sure that the piece is for an Evo maybe the guy who worked on the car before you didn't have enough to mod it and used what he had. heh I had the last guy who owned the car before me try to seal vacuumleaks with gorilla duct-tape yeah he was poor.

I agree with Emery, get rid of them. We offer a piping kit that is fully mandrel bent and 2.5" from start to finish. The lower injen piping reduces down to 2.0" around a bend which is really restrictive.

Thanks!

Michael

I would highly recommend the ETS IC piping. I have their short route kit. Fitment is spot on, it looks great, and some pretty nice gains to be had. I have nothing bad to say about ETS.

When I bought my car I had an injen intake and intercooler piping. Never had a problem with them. Although as Michael said it does taper down to 2" on the licp by the turbo which is unfortunate. Haven't brought myself to drop $170 just to get rid of that little restriction though.
