Default Air lid post headers question

So I got an SLP air lid for my '02 T/A. Put on Jet Hot headers w/ ORY and now I have a hole on the side of my air lid for the AIR system... What have people been doing with that? Just let it be? I have the hose that comes with it plugged with a giant bolt. lol

Plug it at the side of the lid. SLP lids normally come with a little black plastic plug for the hole. At least mine did. You could measure it and cut yoiurself something to plug it with.

Here was my fix that only cost me $1.39 at lowes for a 2 pack of 7/8 nylon hole plugs. It was cheap and looks somewhat decent.

Did you retain the AIR system on the car/exhaust?

-If so, you can just pick up a small breather for the AIR pump hose. And plug the hole in the lid as noted. Or buy the hose adaptor & parts from SLPOnline.

-If not, then you probably don't have the hose anymore, & you can just go to your local hardware store & pick up a plug for the airlid.

(Did your SLP lid come with the AIR tubing & adaptors?)

Yeah it came with everything for the AIR system. And no, it is not on the car anymore. Right now the hose that came with the lid is plugged. lol
