The stock intake pipe on mine isn't directly connected to the throttle body. I used a short length of silicone intercooler hose adaptor to help the intake pipe clear the manifold. It works pretty well; the silicone hose doesn't soften or melt. Like Zetec Jim, I am also planning to fabricate some kind of box to surround the pod filter, and get some sort of wrap (like on the fuel lines) to cover the intake pipe wth.
