I have a power cap and mine fouls it and the fpr aswell

Tried 2 different brands and both have the same prob, going to try and find the m-tech one that nic barnes has as that clears everything

Squished the ecp tech pipe ever so slightly on mine, but changed angle of it, and it just about touched it. Don't the job nicely

The m-tech one Nic has looks ideal but would it not foul the battery?

HP Raid.
Unsure if they still make them, but my polished alloy one left loads of room, even with a large battery for the audio.
