Default SLP air lid question

Hey just ordered my SLP airlid for 2000-2002 cars. Do I absolutely need to have some kind of breather filter on the lid or does the SLP lid come with the correct pieces to make everything work? Ordered lid from ls1speed.com.

Comes with the correct pieces, no breather filter required (that's the main reason I bought it)

it comes with all the pieces, just dont throw them away like i did, i had my AIR system hooked up for a while, after i had the codes deleted, i removed the AIR system and had no plug for the lid, had to improvise

moral of the story, keep everything

I've got the K&N breather on my '00 with the SLP lid, but I had another manufacturer's lid on my car before I decided to switch to the SLP lid. The person I bought the SLP lid from didn't have a '00, so the plug in the lid was still there.

Here is a picture of the misc parts that come with the SLP lid for the 2000-2002 Fbodies...

Thanks for the pics, I just installed mine yesterday. Did you secure the hose in any way? Mine seems to flop around a bit.

Also, when you put the MAF into the neck of the SLP lid did the lid fit all the way up and under the bolts or was it stopped by a 1/4 inch tab on the MAF? Thanks!

Darn... you made me go look.

The hose was a little floppy, and I almost put on a zip tie. Instead, I shorten the hose from SLP a little near the elbow (about 0.50"-0.75"), so the hose sits nicely against the rad cover (and away from the PS pulley). See picture before I cut it...

You're right... The neck of my lid sits just off the 1/4" long tab on the MAF (the tab is on the pass side, about 135 deg from the top). I had forgot about that. I suppose you could notch the lid, but I think it's fine the way it is.

I just bought the whisper lid and K&N filter. It said I also needed the breather filter, so I bought it. Haven't installed it yet. I've ordered a cam, so I'll probably do everything all at once. Also got a 160degreee tstat. These are my first major mods. I changed the exhaust system, but that's pretty much all. I'm excited!
