Did anyone have a fitment problem with the silicone couplers on their franken intakes?? The reason I'm asking is because I just purchased the Cattman Combo Intake which is very similar in design to the franken, and the couplers are a REAL B***H to attach to both the throttle body opening and MAF housing opening.

Are there any tips or tricks of the trade to getting these pieces on w/o using something like KY to get it on (Don't Laugh!! ) or should they not be so tight that it's a whole project in itself to get on?

Edit: Maybe someone had asked this question at one time so before anyone tells me to search, I'm gonna look thru it now. But if I don't find anything, I could use some feedback!


Thanks!

 

mine were a ***** to get on. I used vasoline..

 

I used chapstick and a screwdriver.

 

yeah, i used a screwdriver, it takes a while

make sure everything is a 100% fitted on and there is no any angles...so its a straight pipe with the couplers on

 

Hey, I'm thinking about getting the cattman intake to add to my stillen air flow. I was wondering if anyone knows if I'll still be able to use the lower gold colored metal bracket from the stillen? If I got the Cattman that would be the only thing holding it up!
I've been reading with the frankencar mid-pipe that you can't use the stillen bracket.
Thanks
