Fitment issues with root-fab washer & CAI intake

Anyone else having issues getting these two to fit

I have had the CAI for a while, I also have the scoop. After looking around, I saw a Roto-Fab washer relocation and liked the way it filled the area and not needing to remove the CAI top to fill.

I ordered one, but it just will not line up with all the mounting points.
It really pushes the positive terminal cover, and will not line up with the grommet. I thought they would work together, but it looks pretty tight.

Anyone else have this set up and have any tips?

Thanks

I was thinking of getting this combo as well, can anyone chime in on this? I may just go with the cai with the apex scoop and washer kit, did you get the extra adapter needed to fit the cai with the roto fab washer kit?

Did you also get the optional "CAI adapter stud"? It's an extra $4.00. I've tried the RF washer bottle with a couple different intakes and had no problems.

I would get a hold of Chase@Apex, get the APEX Scoop and there Washer Relocation.. IT WORKS MUCH BETTER with CAI products. Just my .02 cents.

This was going to be my question. It offsets it a bit to make it work.

Maybe someone should do a dyno comparison of all the different scoops available

Nope, I did not know about it. Anyone have a picture so I can try to make one?

Fitment and quality is why we developed our set up.
