Question Installed Z-tube and Popcharger. Looks to short?

Hey guys,

I just picked up a Z-tube and popcharger. I installed everything, correctly I believe, and the actual air filter looks to be about an inch too short. I did a search and saw a couple others with the same problem without any resolution, attached I have a picture of how it looks now.

Any suggestions on what to do? Or does it look okay to you guys?

I did take it for a quick spin and it sounds absolutely MEAN! I love it!

Thanks for the input in advance!

-Kuz

Considering everythign bolts up where it should, your fine.

You may be able to put on a longer or bigger filter...no doubt, but it looks pretty standard to me...

you see that white bracket jutting out the the right of the filter?...theres supposed to be a metal piece that bolts up there and to the filter to keep it up and straight..i think thats why your pics look weird...your filter is hanging down and its not supposed to..mine doesnt look anything like that

Mine looked about the same except for what diablo mentioned regarding a bracket coming out from the right side of it to prop it up. Otherwise, install looks about right...just make sure nothing is rubbing on AC lines. =)

^+1^ why does your MAF sensor look like its inside the filter. looks like there is somthing wrong from the MAF to the pop charger, you pushed the connector piece from the MAF to pop-charger way into the filter

+1 your MAF tube is too deep inside the popcharger.
