Default SLP Lid fitment?

I just got a new WS9 hood from US Exotics and my SLP lid prevents the hood from closing correctly. I had to put my stock airbox back on(which sucks). I searched out a couple posts about people with SLP lids rubbing there hoods. Does anyone know of an aftermarket lid that may not be as tall as SLP and rub the hood.
Thanks

Did you tuck the front of the lid into the lip on the front of the lower airbox? That seems to be what causes a lot of the rubbing issues with lids.

Yeah. I have had the lid for a long time. It is just that with this hood it hits it. I was reading a bit more and discovered that maybe the Holley filter Im using has a thicker gasket which can raise the lid.
I was also looking at the whisper lid and it doesnt seem as high as the SLP one.

My buddy from a while back had an SLP lid that rubbed the same way...my Direct Flo lid did the same though. My 85mm TSP lid doesn't rub now, but it did before I modified it to its current configuration.
