Default Yeah, the engine cover over the TBB wouldn't fit when I put on the Samco TBB
other than that, no problems. Course, mine's be on for all of like 1 month.

Default Guys, the tube on top of the Samco hose can be trimmed to make it work.
Weirdly enough the larger openings always look uniform from the molding proces, but the top tubes come in different lengths and we trim them before sending them out. Mark, I suggest you remove the TBB and trim it (out of the engine bay) and reinstall with the cover.

You guarantee that it'll fit under the cover if I purchase one from you? It includes the clamps?
