AFE intake to bms dci install question (fitment issue)

suave5274 · 03-15-2013, 06:40 PM

I just installed the BMS dci after taking out the afe and it seems not to fit correctly. The Filters are sitting/sagging a litter lower into the engine bay, and aren't touching each other like everyone says they do and what they look like from pictures. I pulled the filters out of the coupling as far as i could (as the install manual says) and this still doesn't fix it. Ill upload a pic in a bit

FIY- I did not install or own the car when the AFE was installed so not sure if i am missing a bracket or something from the factory intake.

Take a few pictures of the engine bay so we can see what brackets are there and what not.
