Maybe a photo of you installation progress might help? Havent really had any complaints, unless you were sent the incorrect clamp to begin with. My Mishimoto kit had a 4", 3.5". and 2 - 3.25" clamps.

Rudy's IC Cold Pipe
So while looking at it, something was different on the air cleaner side of the engine. I could see rusty, hot pipes that I hadn't seen before and then saw some small metal clips with nothing there. When the rubber boot blew off the throttle body connection, it must have blown some heat shield off as well. I need another test ride to confirm all is well, but am happier with the way things went together the second time. We won't even talk about dropped tools into the abyss or 2 trips to NAPA to get the correct clamp. 4" is way too big, BTW.
And while an off set bracket for the PS reservoir may have created more room, it didn't seem necessary.
Completed Rudy's IC cold pipe install
Exposed piping and empty clips to center right.

I haven't done a full on test of the new pipe after the reassembly, but had to make a dump run this morning so when I fired up the truck to back it to the garage, I headed for the street instead and had to pull a hill 1/4 mile away. I drove normally, but the boost hit 7 lbs on the hill, then I heard a beer can open, PSSSHH. When I got back to the house, I popped the hood and the sensor was no longer in the pipe. I remember when I put it in thinking they didn't provide for that little locking tab. As I was putting the sensor back, I noticed an anomoly in the sensor seat 180 degrees from the locking tab. Looking closer, I saw it was a ramp with a sharp drop. Pulled the sensor, turned it 180 degrees and the tab fit like it was supposed to. No wonder I don't do this for a living!

Saw a couple comments from a few days ago about possible issues with Amazon running low on the Rudy's kit. I just ordered a Rudy's and it should be delivered by next Tuesday.
All the tips and photos are much appreciated. Not as near worried about the install as I initially was. I hope I don't regret saying that...
