You can try spraying a little windex on the inside of the rubber, it will help it slip on easier.
Also you can try hot water, it will heat up the rubber and make it more pliable.

the rubber slips on ok, but the whole intake system from the cold air intake to the elbow seems too long to fit in withou some grafting involved, neone do this before with a vortech intake elbow or a trickflow?1994 firebird formula

That's interesting because I bought the Moroso and it was too long too. I had to cut some off the end that connects to the MAF to get the hood to close. It makes me wonder if there is some subtle differences in the LT1 cars between years.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but are you putting one end of the elbow on the TB, and the other to the CAI? If so, what happened to your MAF?
When I installed my Vortech elbow, I fit fine...however, I had previously cut nearly 2 inches off my Moroso CAI because it wouldn't fit with the MBA MAF ends and intake elbow. The Moroso's is plastic though...I wouldn't feel good about chopping the metal SLP one unless you really had to.

unless they sell it to cover 93 as well, which of course has no MAF...1998 TA M6 SLP Lid, Cold Air and Bellow, Flowmaster 3", Centerforce DF, Fast Toys MAF ends, JET skip shift eliminator 312rwhp/366rwtq
