Has something to do with how high the filer sits in the fender well. You might only be able to use that intake correctly with a pro-tune from SS.

LOL, it's a full turboback without the cat. If that's true about the CAI that really sucks.

I just had Scott tune mine and all I've got is a DP and an Accessport. Scott says its one of his favorite tunes - you get so much with so little. An increase of about a 100 ft. lbs. of torque at 3200 RPM! It's a huge difference over stock and the increase from the OTS Stage II map to the pro tune is dramatic.

That Hose is pretty rigid so what i always do is take a little mobile 1 and lightly coat the oil line so that it slides in to the hose easier.
should i replace my dp gasket and uppipe gasket or just keep the same ones.

It's always a good idea to replace them. You CAN re-use them, but it's not the best thing. The best is to go w/ the copper gaskets, but you can get OEM ones from Mastro, or just order them off the internet.

change the gaskets or you'll end up with exhuast leaks.

its not fun after you spent all that time putting stuff in.

trust me gaskets are not reusable.

Yep as stated by the others the gaskets are inexpensive and will ensure that you have a tight seal. Better to spend < 20$ and be sure then have to take it all back off again.
