Picture request for stock smic install with piping

[Jasong]

Would someone please post pictures of their install of stock smic so I can see what is wrong with mine. I cut out for the piping in front of the wheel well and mounted the smic but it won't line up correctly with the pipe and coupling where it goes on the intake I have turned the coupling 360 degrees flipped ends around and turned it again. But either the pipe stands up to high or wont match up with the smic and the coupling has very little give to it and is formed. So I cant just bend it to match it up. It's really starting to pi## me off. Any help would be appreciated especially if it is in the form of pictures.

umm if you cant figure out how piping should go on... maybe you shouldnt be working on the car... its like a little puzzle.

Well since your soooo sure that the right piping was sent to me or that something is not out of line, you could possibly be right but I somehow doubt it. And how did that reply help me?

One thing I forgot to add is that the transmission is currently resting on a jack because my crossmember hasn't gotten here yet. I know that its not at the right height and is to far over on one side in the tunnel. Could this throw the front of the motor off enough to cause my problem?
