quick question..

ok so i was looking at some pics and i am not sure if my r box intake will clear the stock hood. its no big deal really cause im getting a cobra r hood. i just want to know if i should go ahead and take my stock hood off for now..
 
i think i read somewhere that it does fit. don't quote me on it though....measure from the base of the upper to the highest point. have someone else measure from the base of thier track heat or something that does fit under the stock hood.
