Default Skunk2 IM installation issues
Hello, I recently purchased a Skunk2 K-series intake manifold for my k20a3 ep3. After removal of the stock manifold I realized that the skunk2 manifold rubs near the alternator. Because of this the bolt connecting the manifold to the rest of my engine is off by about 1/4". Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Thanks

Yeah because the RBC manifold is half the price and performs the same.

OEM > skank2

I took another look at it and it looks like it is rubbing on the water pump housing.

After using a stud extractor I was able to get the stud out and the manifold right on. Thanks

Fully agreed. But I love how people already modify the Skunk2 by cutting off the coolant port skunk2 incorporated with the manifold. lol
