I just ordered a meth elbow and when I went to install it I found something unexpected. It appears as if the charge pipe and the elbow are one piece and I need to cut off the stock elbow to install the meth elbow.

Am I seeing this correctly or do my eyes deceive me?

The elbow is connected with a bracket on the intercooler side but molded on as an extension of the charge pipe on the opposite side.

Are all N54's like this or just the 135i? Any insight would be great!
