Yeah, I was expecting to have to tweak some things just because my car is weird and the kit isn't built for the 5.7 in the car (and my own tastes for how I want to control it), but I was surprised it was so far off out of the box for basic fitment. I've read accounts both ways of it either going in with no problems or being a total nightmare. I probably should have slowed down and collected my thoughts between issues instead of trying one thing, then backpedaling and trying something else. In the long run I probably should have just bent the tubes out of the box and been done with it as that would have kept me from drilling more holes and cutting up my firewall. Would have been more like a 5 minute fix instead of my multi-hour ordeal, but hindsight and all that.
The drain tube still has me scratching my head though. I really don't understand where they think you are supposed to drill the hole. It's already almost right on a ridge stamped into the firewall, and with the brake line right on the other side that's a pretty precarious location. It's not like you can really move the box around that much either, so just strange to me. Hopefully the system at least works well once it's fully installed.
