I have a AEM SRI and I have some rubbing from the first pipe and the master cylindar. I have heard that some people just cut off an inch or so of the first tube so it fits better. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this. Or do I take a hack saw and cut a little off?

if you in fact need to shorten the tube...yep...just cut it off....but

ENSURE that you completely debur the end afterwards with some sandpaper or a file....you don't want any nasty little metal pieces getting into your engine.

I am two stepps ahead of you Nuke. I have my dremel, with sanding and polishing disks. Thanks for your reply.
