GReddy FMIC and Scoot Hood Fitment Issues

My car has a GReddy FMIC and the piping is interfering with the hood prop so that it doesn't fit in the clip when closed. What makes it worse is that the center of my Scoot hood is crushing the hood prop on the IC piping.

Is this normal or is the FMIC mounted improperly (too high)? I'll try to post pics when I get home.

Yup, same as above. I used to have that hood and I still have a Greddy FMIC with no hood prop issues. Re-check fitment of both IC and hood.

I also have the greddy 2row fmic. NO issues with the hood prop. I think something is just installed incorrectly.

I guess the IC was installed improperly. Here are some pics.

Also, how do I know if the GReddy FMIC is a M-Spec or V-Spec? I bought the car with the FMIC installed. Is it possible to tell whether the IC is a bar-plate or a fin-tube design just by looking at it?

Fixed itq

I guess the piping just need to be adjusted. Now the hood prop will touch the prop clip while down.

However the hood is still smashing the bar because of the intake scoop. The bar is causing the paint to crack on the exterior of the hood.
