Cobb Charge Pipe N54

Has anyone managed to actually install one of these?

I've been trying for the last hour and just can't get it to fit onto the throttle body at all. I have enough clearance but it just doesn't seem like it's big enough to fit on.

Any tricks?

Thanks, tried sanding, no luck. I guess I'll try throttle body next

update, bought a VRSF pipe and it fit perfect, a little wiggling to get the rubber pipe on but it actually fit on the throttle body perfect. The COBB wasn't even close.

I have a VRSF lower and upper charge pipe I got with my VRSF 5" stepped intercooler. I did not install it but the Indy shop told me they were easy but the car needed some minor trimming to fit the intercooler.

Cobb CP was notorious for fitment issues. Stick with ER or VRSF.
