AA charge pipe install Help

I am in the process of installing the AA charge pipe and for those who have done this before, does the top part going into he throttle bottle have some play? It seems a little loose and wanted to see if that was normal.
Thanks.

It shouldnt have much or any play. did you re-use the rubber gasket from the stock CP? How much play do you have?

Yes, I did reuse the rubber ring and the clips go into the groove on the throttle body but there is slight movement if I tug on it.

Is a 'Throttle Bottle' anything like a throttle body?

if anything take off the clip and add more bend to it so it locks it in tighter, but if you need to tug on it to get movement you should be fine. if I tug on mine it moves ever so slightly. Did you recently order it? I know AA had issues with their first batch of CP. They assured me their current batch is good.

Yes, it’s on and seems to have tightened up a bit. Still have a little play but it isn’t going anywhere.
Not sure what throttle bottle means but apparently it’s funny.
Autocorrect at work.

If the c clip clips into place, it's good.
