Looking at ordering one of these intakes...thought I came across an issue with it fitting on a 19? Any issues I should expect?

If you look at my post... I posted my workaround if you have an extremely tight cooling line that goes over CAI. I would also recommend adjusting height adjusters for your hood so it is level on both sides and does not put pressure on lines near heat extractor shroud Mine was beyond tight. Look at my post #27

Excellent post @Gixxerman here - https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1601107109
Thank you!

Am I interpreting correctly that you cut and elongated this line? I have the same strange line fitment issue in my '19.

After installing mine, I noticed that the rubber hose mount was sticking up and hitting the edge of the extractor vent on the hood. I then simply, turned the rubber hose mount the other way and routed the hose further down along side of the CAI. It was tight, but it worked without adding any additional pressure on the hose.

This is how my hose is routed today on my 2019. I had to remove it from one of the clips on the fender to meet the angle. I am looking to correct. Thank you!

You have to move that hose on every Corvette. Not just the 19s. If you guys need that intake let us know. We can get them for $485 shipped

This is the correct way to install. You have to remove the clip that is by the A/C line to free up the tension. I use push mount zip tie in place of the factory clip so that you still have something holding it but it allows you to keep the tension loose.

These are what I use to replace the factory clip when I install the GM intakes:

Elongated line after the plastic fitting with HPS Silicone hose.. a little overkill, but you get what u pay for wanted it to be perfect
