Super Ram ?'s

I just finished installing my Super Ram but there is a slight problem. The SR sits a little farther forward, so I'm having trouble getting the MAF to bolt to the intake ducting. What did you guys do to fix this?

Thanks

Sorry I can't really help here because mine is actually farther back in the engine compartment. So far in fact that the rear of the plenum is preventing me from reinstalling my wiper motor. The best suggestion I have for you is to try to trim the rubber hose infront of the TB somehow.

I unbolted my mass air sensor from it's mount and then installed the ducting. Once I had the ducting secured and tightened I bolted down the mass air sensor. I also used a very small amount of K&N sealing grease at all the connections. I don't have any kinks or leaks. It's weird how so many people have so many different problems fitting the SuperRam. I barely had any hood clearance and I had to shave the corner off my wiper motor.

Just compress the intake tubing a little more. The TB piece thats like and accordion. Thats what i did.
The easiest way i have found is to assemble all the parts from the intake Y up to the TB rubber tube off the engine, and just press it on the TB till you can snap the Y down.
