I just installed an MTI Clear lid.
Buttoned it up, and got home to check everything out, and the clips that hold it on where off, and it had slid forward out of the tab holders..
what can I do to fix this??
is there a fix?

thanks

so the Filter box gets in the way of the Maf sensor, and the lid??
I will have to fix that tonight..
Thanks

pretty much causes the lid to unbuckle itself. also ensure the lid is secured into the filter box

I didnt put the gasket on the lid, maybe that will help after I cut away the box a little ..

Wow, you really had to cut the plastic base out to get it to fit? I know it is different variables but I have the SLP bellows and lid and a Delphi 85mm MAF (and 3 3/4" ID sylicone coupler between the MAF and lid) and it makes "light" contact with the base but no nead to cut. I have no contact with the hood either.

yep on both my Z28 (stock) and my boys WS6 (408 Stoker) which is pictured contacted the base the cut made it fit perfect

Yeah, my Maf is rubbing pretty bad on the box, and it was really hard to get the lid on..
It has it in a pretty bad bind..

Just got home, and I ma heading out into the garage to trim it up

I'll post some pics later as well

I have a buddy with a wisper lid with the same problem, I am gonna try this mod out to see if it will fix his problem as well.

here are some pics.

this is where the MAf/lid was rubbing on the filter tray.




I made the cut as wide as the Maf is ,
and then I cut up on the filter tray untill it didnt touch the lid any longer
