You have to modify it to fit on 8's from what I've heard from everyone... the chassis being the same dosent mean everything fits the same...

Dude, I have tried TWICE to get that f*cking thing to fit. The radiator hose is too high, my upper IC pipe is to high, the sensors are in the way, and the hole for the intake is OFF by two inches.

I heard rumors that the Newer ones took these things into consideration.

I know mine does NOT fit without me really moving some stuff around...not worth the headache right now...

trick here is align everything before tightening the plate at the bottom.. its a tight fit yes.. but not unable to fit.. btw the radiator hose goes under the snorkel

when you have it 1000's of people will give you 1000's of reasons why it won't work

the airbag sensor on the usdm cars gets in the way. you have to cut a small hole in the box so it will fit. the small hole is cut in the plastic, not the carbon fiber which is only located on the top of the box
