Default What lid fits an 85mm MAF and 90/90 setup well?

My lid is junk. It is cracked and I want to replace it anyway but it didnt fit worth a damn with the 85mm/90/90 setup. Whoever has a setup that fits well let me know. I really dont want a lid with a name on it either, just plain black.

That is the problem, my lid doesnt fit it and I am not going to waste money on another lid that wont work. I want to know who has what and how it fits. It is a very tight fit in there with the FAST intake.

Anyone know where I can get JUST the silicon piece for the lid-MAF adaptor? Local part stores and hardware stores had nothing.

Guys, I am not asking what I should do. I was in SD and am going back. There are too many things going on with SD right now that I dont like and am going to give the MAF a shot. I just want to know the question I asked in the original post. I dont want to blow $100 and not have it fit correctly.

My setup is as follows, and it fits GREAT.

FAST90 --> NW90 --> Airflo Systems Bellows (4.0"-3.5" Hump Hose) --> 85mm MAF (SLP w/ their silicone coupler) --> SLP Polypro lid.

My original OEM SLP/Blackwing lid didnt' fit in this system at all, at least I didn't like how the lid-to-MAF joint was a rubber-hose over a rubber-hose. The aftermarket SLP lid fits on the LAB great, clamps attach it firmly, and it has the same ID as the 85mm MAF. The two butt-together, and the silicone coupler provided with the SLP MAF then snugs the two together.

A little trimming on the Airflo Systems bellows, and it then allows the entire system to fit perfectly.

Here's a couple pics:

Thanks

Do you know the I.D. of the SLP MAF to lid coupler? I am trying to find one online right now. I can get just the MAF cheaper than getting the whole thing (since I am going to convert to 5 wire connector and clip my other connectors off).

People have been trying to get those for ages, it seems TSP has let them go without any attention.

I like that setup posted above! I believe that coupler from the lid to the MAF is 3.5". HighTempSilicone.com has all kinds of hump hoses/couplers/straight tubing and all kinds of clamps.

casperselectronics.com sells the 3 pin to 5 pin adapter for about $30.

Oh BTW theblur98ss, I had no idea of your name when I made this one. Some douchebag who was trying to pick a fight called me a "name stealer" the other day in one of his PM's shortly before bannage.

The guy actually insulted ALL the LS1tech mods and boasted how much better LS1.com was, not the smartest of our noble patrons. Needless to say, we had a field day with it in the mod lounge.
