It's off by a few inches to line up with the mounting on the engine. Also take note that the breather tube that comes with the kit is too short to run through the factory mounts and the mounting bracket that comes with the kit will leave you searching for a spot to bolt down. I didn't install the mount. But nonetheless, the intake fits snug with some twisting into position for the stock breather tube. It sounds great, gives a little whistle when going up in revs, and the supercharger is noticeably louder when going wide open throttle.
