They rerouted the AC lines 2014+, slowly and gently bend the tubes(aluminum) to gain clearance. My S&B with the lower scoop needed a lot of persuasion but the Volant doesn’t look too bad in comparison.

No problem! My truck is a 2013 so they may have made some minor changes to things after that.

Here's some pics that show the routing and clearances around the scoop tube. Some people say it interferes with the AC plug up top but I have a good amount of room there. The only thing I did have to move was the connector that's attached to the side of the frame but it just pops out and is easily moved out of the way.

You can also see how I zip tied the liner to the scoop at the bottom.

Hope this helps!e31793fab74428f168279f286f566163.jpgad54eabe4f1eae1028810be90db0b16f.jpg3e4f0d41685fb006897c543c1417b9c7.jpgcd445648963a5edea5a9ac7cf2ffddec.jpg1742005b47fed54786d20695dd65aeaf.jpg13dfe954b057a1d5bbd204db6781b882.jpg

Thank you for the pics! I can definitely see why the zip tie will be needed. That would drive me crazy hearing the plastic hit going down the road. Will be stopping by walmart definitely! My only worry is like @Tim Garceau stated. Since they reworked the ac lines it's already touching the lower scoop. Fingers crossed that's there's some wiggle room for me to sneak the coupler on there. Wouldnt feel nice bending the lines, but we'll see what happens!

Scoops arriving Thursday and I'm sadly pretty busy all week / weekend. I got a staycation all next week and i'mma take a day to get this installed / clean the engine bay and maybe paint the engine cover. I'll definitely get pics and post them!
