i put it across the engine as if it were installed and the holes dont line up on the drivers side...the gold bracket for the air filter on the drivers side seem to be blocking it from going down...also the bar didnt come assembled so i had to put it together my self...is there anything speacial i have to do while putting it together? did u guys have to move anything out of the way while you put ur fstb on? i hope i didnt get the rong bar i waited all week for this thing........

I have an 02 and my FSB was notched to accommodate the bracket thats on the strut tower for the air box bracket. is it possible to take pics of this gold bracket, my bracket is painted the color of the car.

ok upload the pics on your comp, you need a site to host the pics, if you have a cardomain site,upload them onto the cardomain site, copy the image location by right clicking on the pic, then copy and paste the location with these symbols in front of it [img] and this at the end [/img (this is how you create a signature aswell.

ok, i had my intake on when i put the fsb on, just take that airbox bracket off, put your FSB on and put that bracket back on, that should work.

DOH!..what you can do is take that plastic piece out and turn it upside down and put it back upside down..kinda confusing right? wish i had a pic..i didn't put mine in yet but I don't have that bracket after the Berk intake install. Someone here should have a pic.
