I just got a short ram intake for my P5 and I was curious. Do you have to relocate the radiator overflow to install it? What components do you need to do that if you do need to relocate it?

Short rams don't need to move anything but the airbox (out of the car). You'll be amazed at how much crap you take out just for the stock intake system. At least I was.

What kind of intake is it? Brand name or just a random one of eBay?

Depending on which way the filter points after install you MAY need to elocate it, but probably not...

does it not fit? does it look like it needs to be moved?

Make sure you cram it on the throttle body enough or futz with it so that it is not rubbing the master cylinder or brake line beside it.........

It's an ebay SRI. I haven't actually recieved it yet but I was just curious so I could get the hardware before hand and have it all ready.

May wanna ditch the filter it comes with & get K&N filter for it. I got the RC4630 for mine. You can find the dimesions for all their filters on their site. Then just search on ebay for the part number of the one you want. Got mine for 34.00 shipped. Can't go wrong with K&N, not sure what ebay kits come with. I've had 3 & they all came with something different & not necessarily washable & million mile proof either.

if you need to relocate it, just unbolt the bracket under the coolant reservior and turn it to the left and bolt it down again....it should clear.
