Need radiator hose w/ more clearance
I can't fit my filter tubing under my upper radiator hose, so what could I buy to give me some more clearance? tia

You can add to the tubing that attaches to the compressor housing. Either put a new elbow on it or you can probably move it around just enough to get it at the right angle. You might can get an entirely different filter for it that is shorter. Kind of like what some Supra's use.
I don't know if that would help...

Re: Need radiator hose w/ more clearance (iloveracing)
Basically what's happening is my S-shaped tube hits the metal housing for the passenger-side fan. I can still connect it to the compressor since the silicone tubing allow some room for error. With it connected, the S-tube is pushed a bit higher, and thus, I cannot route a tube under the upper radiator tube. Any got ideas?

I kinda had the same problem jus took a little puzzle work. Unbolt the left fan and put in the intake pipe and then try to put the fan back on.

Re: Need radiator hose w/ more clearance (Arturbo)
Thanks for the ideas guys; it turns out I didn't need to extend the radiator hose, but rather took BG's suggestion and trimmed my S-pipe an inch or so. It's a tight-fit, but it works!
On a somewhat related note, I'm wondering about something else. I have my old K&N filter which came with my AEM CAI and also the new filter which came with my DRAG kit, a "HyperFlow" filter. Which should I use on my turbo setup? (assuming both fit fine) tia, again.
