yes, it will not work with the stillen SC

for the Vortech, I think it would fit. It fit over the AEM CAI....the Vortech pipe looks like it has the same curve/size as the stock tube. Do you still have the stock engine cover on? If so, as long as the Vortech piping is at the same height as the engine cover, then it'll fit.....if you look at the second to last picture in this thread, there is ample space between the bar and the stock tube.

how does it attach to the shock mounts?
do you have to drop the any bolts or can you simply remove the stock nuts place this on & rebolt?

it attaches right on top of the shock mounts. you don't have to drop any bolts, just simply remove the stock nuts and place the tower brackets on and rebolt.

mmmmm, haven't tried that variation yet... but this is what it looks like with the 5/16 spacer without the cover



I'll have the driver take some pictures of the clearance between the bar and the plenum, then maybe you can gauge whether or not the cover is doable too.

Cool

The question on the Vortech fittment is with clearing the square block for the MAF connection.

I'm still not sure if it will clear......any test cars available out there???


Why can't I attach a pic?

gary c, the crawford plenum is the equivalent of the 1/2 inch spacer, no? I have the crawford and want to know if this will fit also. Anyone?

I don't know if it will hit the MAF housing with my Vortech.

Just take your MAF housing and turn it so that the actual sensor points towards the plenum...it doesnt have to be right where you have it.
