Smile Charge pipe fitment issue (hello from new onwer)

Hi everyone, very happy to join you guys here.

I recently bought my dream car 1M in Alpine White at 49k kilometers. I am extremely happy because this has been my dream car for many years, and the car met all my expectations.

I have found one issue with the charge pipe that my car currently has, which looks like its from cobb (I can not be sure, the ex owner installed this). The charge pipe has some fitment issue and its rubbing against a cooling hose.

This is the hose that got in the way, it has some wear due to rubbing

Rubbing mark on the charge pipe


I have tried reinstall the charge pipe and made sure its installed correctly, sadly there is still no enough space. I did some research and find out that 335 and 135 with n54 does not have this cooling hose so they would have no fitment issue.

My question is : Does any one else have this issue in their 1m? and if I switch to a vrsf charge pipe, will it solve this issue?

Sorry in advance if my english dont make sense.
