Default I just installed a SLP lid, and now I have a problem!

I just put on my slp lid, and i noticed that there is no way to hook up that tube that goes into the right side of the airbox. my car is an 01, and i am wondering if i got the lid off of a 98-99 if there is a difference. Is there any way that i can run the lid like this? I need help as soon as possible because i plan on using the car later today!

If there's no hole on the driver's side of the lid, then you got one for a 98-99. No big deal. Stroll on over to Autozone and pick up a mini-K&N type filter and hose clamp. Install it on the end of your hose and zip-tie it securely away from moving parts. Problem solved.

That works fine with the small filter. But if you want to make it pull out of the lid just drill the hole and buy some tubing and the elbows to make it yourself.

Either way, or like previously suggested remove it all together.

Or trade someone for a lid that already has a hole in it. I'd trade you my SLP with a hole for yours.. It's my DD so I couldn't ship it without the replacement first though. Also, it has rubbed my hood a little bit so there's a small spot on the top of it.

Parts stores also have plastic fittings for emissions...willing to bet it's a standard size (like 3/4"). If you don't know what to look for, talk to the guy behind the counter. That's what they pay him for.

the lid comes with a little circular rubber adapter. I was installing an slp lid on my friends car and i was stuck at the part too until i figured how it works.

all SLP lids are the same regardless of the year. for 98-00 they send you a plug for the hole. later years they supply you with a grommet, fittings and an extra piece of hose to attach to the lid.

heres a pic from my 02:
