I installed the Banks intake elbow, piping, and intercooler on my truck.

No matter how much I tried to get the silicone boots past the bead roll enough to put the t-bolt clamps over the boots behind the bead roll, it always left insufficient material on the other side.

I talked to Banks, and they said installing the clamp over the boot directly over the bead roll is the correct method.

Has anyone here had any luck with their Banks silicone boots being long enough to go behind the beadroll, or is installing the clamp over the beadroll copacetic?
