it's pretty obvious. The stock gsr mani faces toword the bottom, while the skunk2 faces towards the top. They position the t/b different from each other

How close to fitting is it? I notice sometimes if you think backwards you can get things done. We ended up putting my upper charge pipe on first then going from there.

the gsr charge pipe will fit only on the stock gsr intk manifold bc the t/b is lower than ls and type r. so if u use skunk2 or jg manifold, u will need an ls charge pipe.
then u will have to cut towards the end of the pipe where the t/b connects bc it is too long. if u want i have a ls charge pipe that has been fitted for ur jg or skunk2 manifold that goes through the stock intake hole of a civic. if u want i will trade my ls for ur gsr charge pipe.i need a gsr charge pipe bc i am doing a lsvtec with a stock manifold.
