Hey everyone. Happy Veterans Day!

Was wondering if anyone on here had fitment issues installing a Evolution Racewerks Chargepipe.

As you can see in the photo my Chargepipe didn't align perfectly. Clamped it down and its sealed but was wondering if this was common with these chargepipes.

The OCD is real!! Appreciate everyone's help!

Same thing happened to me during my install. The rubber hose ER provided is a lil short and I had to pull the plastic pipe closer so I could secure the clamps. What I didn’t realize was that I actually pulled the plastic pipe from its mount. The realization came into play via Murphy’s law, 300 miles away in the middle of nowhere with the plastic pipe slipping (due to vibration and running a higher boost pressure) from the rubber hose causing the dreaded “drivetrain malfunction, reduce speed” fault codes.

Just double check and make sure this did not happen to you during install. If it did, just head over to your local auto store and buy a longer rubber hose and call it day.

This is what mine looks like. It wasn't completely flush either, but it hasn't moved since I installed it.
