[QUOTE="dirtyo2000, post: 11567169, member: 106904"] Was at my brothers doing some final cleaning of the engine bay area and think I have made a discovery. My STB has plenty of clearance and his was hitting, the reason he never ran one. Did a small experiment and this is what we discovered. Using the metal airbox that came with the whipple, he can use the tubular brace that your using with no clearance problems. It appears that the metal box actually sits lower in the car than the factory plastic box that seals up to the hood. Down side, you have to cut the fender tab to install the metal box. No biggie since nothing is hooked up to it. Hood cable has to be moved back to the previous hole. Other than that it worked. Just installed the plastic air duct from a newer 500 to funnel air into his. To bad the snake is blocking some of the airflow. Just an alternative. [/QUOTE]
