Ok so I finished installing the intake and I really like the way it looks and I feels very solid as well.
Unlike the previous poster(Aphex13) I did not have to lube the grommets, they went in fine but yours may be different, the vacuum hose is not stretched in my case but I made sure to take note of routing it correctly taking into account the previous poster’s note about it, I was able to shove my JB4 between the intake and the battery,I never had it secured in the first place so I’m doing the same now, it’s just there
.
My Secondary filter fits perfectly except that I need to adjust it a bit more on the outside because of the adapter being a bit longer it’s a bit crooked but I’ll correct that by pulling the hose up a bit more later on, and the windshield washer cap does in fact presses against the box a bit, no biggie. Pretty happy overall
Love the design and materials used.
My engine bay is not as neat as the previous poster sorry

looks good, should get mine delivered on wednesday. bought it through amazon, it was not eligible for prime shipping, but sill got free UPS ground shiping. Just a FYI since some people were saying they got charge for shipping when buying it directly from S&B (not that $12.00 is really a big deal anyways).

For the fellas who have the S&B intake, were you able to “click” lock you sai into the supplied aluminum afapter?
Mine went in without issues snug and secured by the clamp. What is the issue that you’re having? Can’t remember if it clicked when it went on but it does feel secured

Meh.. I dont know. The adapter is in correctly. But when iI try to put the sai on, the plastic ring is too big and it does exactly snap in or feel very secure. So i just taped it up. Call it a day.
Lol I’ll check this afternoon and maybe upload a pic

Received mine and it won’t fit at all...
My battery is all way to the back and even with removing the positive cable, the back of the intake box touches the battery, leaving me no room whatsoever to run the cable, and causing the prongs not to align with the box.
On my first try to fit the intake box, 2 of the rubber prongs on the battery tray broke right off.
So I’m gonna have to contact S&B to see what they can do to help me.
I’m already gonna have to buy a new battery tray.
I’m thinking the intake box is off and needs to be replaced.
Sucks

I see the plexi-glass top of the S&B intake getting really scratched up and translucent looking after just a few engine bay washes.

Damn that does suck. Not too surprised though, that intake looks massive.
Wow, sorry to hear that, I’m assuming that you have the stock battery, mine went in without issues With enough room to keep my JB4 in place, that’s very strange

Yep stock battery...you actually got a lot of space there, I can’t even fit my positive cable.
The previous poster was stating he could not fit his JB4 so my guess it’s a manufacturing issue with the intake box, they are obviously not all built exactly to the same dimensions.
I emailed S&B and will report back on how their customer service handles my case.
That’s what I’m thinking, maybe the same reason why he needed to lube the grommets, mine went in super smooth
