Default Fitmit Issues with the J's Racing Intake

I have a 99 civic coupe with a B series motor, I just installed the J's racing Intake, and I had to wedge it in between the strut tower and the resivour on the radiator, Just want to see if any of you guys had this problem, It appears that after driving for a while it could rub into the intake.

It does fit real tight. Just loosen the bolt a little on the coolant overflow resivor and see if you can bend it away a little. Not a big deal. Nice intake though! I miss mine.

you need to get a small spacer for your strut bar... and then it'll clear the intake ...
