Twin cone intake
Howdy, I installed one of these a month or so ago, I bought from that fleabay site and it came without any instructions at all. I did it with no problem, what kind of problem are you having installing it ?

We're at the point of cutting the shrowd since the cones are high so I wanted a pic of exactly where uou cut. I assume you just cut under the cones. Right?
Thanks

It's pretty easy to do. Just take out the old and insert the new. Clamp everything down and you're good to go. No need to cut anything. I had one, but replaced it with a Vararam.

Twin cone intake...
I might be way off here, but, as I see it, if you have to cut anything, something else isn't quite right. I just did this a couple of monthes ago and nothing could have been easier. Just like JW said, you undo all the stock pieces, then put these back in their place. Mine was from that auction site and I ended up paying $30.00 bucks for mine shipped, brand new, so they could have been very badly manufactured and in fact I was expecting it, but, had no fitment problems at all. I can't imagine cutting the radiator shroud, I wouldn't for the reasons given above. Please make sure all is fitted properly and all pushed together, cause that's the only thing I can see that might be your problem.
