I just got my intake kit from ZR and i must say, it was the worst piece of workmanship i've ever seen. First off, the install started good. I put the lower section on and headed to the couplers. The 3.5" couplers fit good, nice and smooth. The 3" couple barely fit over the MAF side with much stuggling for about an hour. Then the TB coupler would not go on at all. Its a 75mm TB and i thought that was the problem, so i dug out the stocker and it fit the same. The coupler would NOT go onto the TB. After i modified the crap out of the thermo coupler...i kinda got it on. Then when i went to install the tube, nothing lined up. Turns out that the plate the bolts to the car (must just be for looks, cause i dont see any function...) was way off. The car has an oval in the body for the stock system, and the new kit has a similar design. The pipe wouldn't line up at all because the oval wasn't even close to being big enough so the bottom section was hitting and bound up even before the tube was in place. Now i dont know if the plate was right and the tube wasn't bent enough, or the tube was fine and the plate was wrong. Who knows. Just saying that for $200....you should get a kit that fits and not spend a whole night redesigning the product. Now i have to find a way to make this POS come together. Take it that i'm not some newbie SC owner....I know this car and how it goes together as i do every mod myself. Something is just not right with this kit. Maybe i got a bad apple or they are all like this. Basically i wasted $200 for a piece of crap. I'm so pissed that its just going in the trash. Anyone else have this trouble?
