Installed my Vararam yesterday and it seems to sit lopsided under the hood. One side barely has room(compared to the other side) due to the radiator lines (see pic). Have I installed this correctly? :shrug:

Mine sits almost the same way. Not sure why but it doesn't seem to effect anything

i am installing mine right now and mine is right against the two lines on the side of the radiator. I may try and stick the lower shroud on the front part of the shroud and see if it makes any difference. Did yours seal right? Bit of a poor design. Dont see how its going to be much function but will give it a try. Kinda dissappointed at the moment. lol. story of my life.

Are your electrical wires in the way when you look at it from the front. I moved my horn wires to the front but still seems like they block it some.

Mine is the same way, I was thinking about cutting the stock shroud and reinstalling for a more stock look but I figure without the shroud it is getting more air around the wires.

i am taking the fuse holder off the bracket and zip tieing to the wires to the right side if looking from the front. that freed up alot of room just have to find a zip tie and will let ya know how it did. fingers crossed.

WOW! I moved the fuse holder off the bracket. The bracket that holds the fuse block on the horn bracket is gone. i zip tied the fuse block to the wires on the right side. the unit fits flush down and not lop sided any more. I took her out for a test drive and holy #*!@ did she run great. The throttle response was more than i could ever expect! great stuff! I love it!
