I’m guessing this is yet another change that went unnoticed for the USA 2026 model. There is a different OEM airbox bracket than what I saw on ty Fenwick‘s install video. There is also different bracing along the front corner and wiring loom hold down in the way. Made a 20 minute install take an extra 30-40 minutes. I cut a small notch to clear the bracing with a grinder and just pulled the wiring push pin out of the way. I will go back later and cut the oval hole for the push pin so it can be mounted in the factory location.

This is the bracing that is in the way of the Fabulous Fab bracket and the wiring push pin.

I’m going to reinstall my S&B CAI later today do you want me to snap a pic of the same location for comparison? I plan on getting a fabulous fab intake system with snorkel eventually…

Might as well, I have only seen the Aus Raptor engine bay from YouTube. I’m sure there are a few differences from the US version.
