r/t intake manifold fitment
ok well if anyone wants to know, the r/t intake is not a direct fit like it is thought to be. (well at least i thought it was) the problems are
stock bolts are too long. the plastic intake manifold is thicker than the metal one so you need either shorter bolts or some thick washers
both brackets don't fit. the r/t intake manifold has a bolt hole for a driver side one, but the stock one from the plastic manifold will not work. and needs to be taken off along with the passenger side one
pcv hose is too short. you need to get a longer one
make sure map clamp is right. i would just swap out to your stock one. its a pain to have the new manifold in and then you have to take it off because you cant plug into your new map clamp
other than that, it fits haha /rant
