Two inches to short??

[LITTLEREBEL]

So yesterday I decided to replace my wobly varam intake with this mopar intake and found out its two inches to short. I was in a bind, so I cut two inches off the varam intake tube and cut the lip off my old throttle body as a temporary fix. It looks bad and the sensor wire is in a bind, but it doesn't leak. Has anyone else ran into this issue and found a fix?

No issues and looks like the front is sitting too high? I'd have to look at mine.

The front is sitting where it's supposed too.

Just raise your engine a couple inches. Problem solved.

The Ram Air intake I used to have fit perfectly. No need for a spacer. Not sure why that one comes up short.

Hate to be Captain Obvious, but one possible fix would be to remove the 2" body lift. Maybe that's why the Vararam was wobbly before.

Or do what you did, make an adapter from materials you can source locally. I'd have thought some tubing would be available cheaper than cutting up a throttle body, but if it works for you I'm fine with it.

Thank you cpt. obvious, because that makes sense and I didn't even think about that. Like I stated above, chopping the throttlebody was a fast fix because this is my work truck. I will just look for a better clamp and extend the sensor wires.
