Default Sfr hardpipe questions

Are these sfr pipes? I'm having a problem with the pass side one sitting on the headlight linkage and the drivers side one dont line up right and is putting pressure on the coupler. Is this normal fitment?

It should be ok. I know my passenger and driver side couplers rub on the headlight bar

<Crocodile Dundee Voice> Thats not a blow off valve, THIS is a blow off valve...

You need a smaller BOV and it will fit I bet...

I am guessing that means that it has two vacuum fittings. I know on my brothers 3000gt vr4, he capped off one of them and only ran one. I am not sure which one though.

You can just run one of the ports to the atmosphere. I assume attach the top port to your vacuum. The hard pipe looks like old school Huntley Racing, not SFR. But I could be wrong on that.

Looks like a godzilla BOV.
As DDP said, top port to manifold, bottom port to atmosphere.

Those look like 3" pipes. I bought a set but sold it because of the rubbing issue on the headlight bar. Couldn't really find a way around it and when I called a few people, they said they just dealt with it.

You can cut off the hard pipe (shorten it) and add a longer hose to clear the headligt bar.

It should be fine. I have the same rubbing/fitment on mine.

My passenger side SFR IC pipe is a real pain to fit since it doesnt line up quite right due to some changes I made and that I'm using very thick 4-ply couplers which don't have much give(not SFR's fault).

Probably 2.5", but definitely not 3".

I talked to turbonetics and was told the top port is actually meant for an adjustment screw and vac only goes to the side port. I just ordered all the missing parts then ill see how that works out. I dont get how somebody screwed that up like that.
