Default K&N FIPK won't fit SLP maf

Just got a K&N FIPK and the tube supplied in the kit isn't wide enough to fit over my SLP maf. Anyone have this problem before?

It's designed for a stock MAF.

Finally got it stretched on but it took a lot of stretching

Called K&N today. They don't make anything larger. Hope the one on there does'nt tear.

If it comes loose take a box cutter and trim some of the rubber out on the inside of the lip.

After it has been on there for a couple of days, it will be much easier to take off/on after that. Mine I can just basically slip on and off now. I can even get it to fit a 90mm now
