Vortech pipe wont fit?

here's the problem. I cant really get that one pipe to fit right so I will need to hear from someone who actually installed the kit before. Does that pipe go in between that thick ac line and the chassis or is it in the right place? would be nice to see some pictures if there's any. Thanks! here's my pic btw

you're off by an inch or so...the pipe needs to be a little further back. the top of the pipe should be sandwiched between the AC line (you can bend it a bit, btw) and the shock tower.

just after the cylinder and above at where it comes out of the brake compartment. it will always be a snug fit, but you can massage it a bit.

looks like the pipe coming off the TB has been modified/cut. It may be part of your problem.
