You have to remove the exhaust cam baffle or cut it so the stoppers sit flush if I remember correctly.

I had Tomei RAS. I'll confirm there was no cutting necessary.

The only thing you have to cut is the stock baffle plate that is on the exhaust side! It just has to have the two corners cut off so it is flat where it installs on the RAS and it is the same with all other RAS. Tomei RAS are the BEST because they come with the spacer plate for the intake side so the oil squirter tube is bolted down flush.
