RAW intake pushing on ECU?
When I installed my RAW intake on my 07 SS/SC I noticed it touched my ECU. Didn't think much of it because of the excellent quality stainless the intake is made out of (top notch, BTW). But here recently I've been noticing when I turn to the right (I do have some fender bulge) my radio, and gauges will turn off for a second then turn back on. I will also loose power steering for a second also. Could this be caused by when I turn my wheel it pushes on the intake which is pushing on the ECU cauing it to disconnect for a second or anything like that? Thanks guys.

I'd think your car would shut off if it was due to the connection being compromised.
On a side note, I noticed that my ECU had a few rub marks as well... not really due to the intake, but due to the ECU being loosely fitted on the top.
I took a few zip ties and tied each corner of the module to the bracket it sits in... no more ECU rub.

Well the power steering thing is barely noticable. But sounds like we're in the same boat. Did you just recently install the RAW intake or anything?
