Default Need Instructions for Hurricane Intake

Last time I attempt to do the install I went from the top to install it but it was not working. Do I have to put it in from bottom?

Thank you.

I see on the sides of the system there's a hole on each side but I don't see any spot on the car for that to line up too. Do you make new spots ? It seems like the 2 air flow spots on the 1st peice doesn't fit correct. There's no cuttng? Thank you.

No, no cutting needed. The 7 holes at the bottom match up to the ones that were used for the stock radiator shroud.

Here are the instructions from WCC: http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/fil...5Hurricane.pdf - may take a while to download the PDF.

It installs from the top, but you will also have to get underneath the front to remove/install screws, etc. Takes more cuss words than tools!
