    I wasn't planning on getting an intake but since zzp has their black Friday sale I snagged a FWI at 50% off. I already knew before I bought it there would have to be some slight modifications to get it to fit. Well after spending more time then I care to mention trimming the pipe about 2 inches and trimming the inside of the fender (not the bracket just the hole where the stock airbox attaches to), lining up the filter to get as much of it in the fender as possible and twisting the pipe around to get the right angle on it so it seals good near the throttle body I got it installed pretty decent (2/3 of the filter inside the fender).
    Then of course I forgot the damn pcm. There is no way the pcm can fit in the space below the intake pipe where it originally sat (i tried several angles and i tried taking the pipe back off and laying in the pcm first but then it blocks the pipe).
    My car being a 97 the coolant bottle is there and it seems as if it wasn't there then there would be enough room.
    Needless to say im back to the stock intake. Does anyone have the zzp FWI on a 97-98 gtp? and if so what did you do with your pcm.
