bellow is looks mod.

you want it to fit?
TSP LID + HOLLEY FILTER. PERFECT FIT.
no b/s K&N issues. holley is purrfect.

tsp was selling the tsp black reasonably and well it fits. Remember an 00 requires the mini K&N for the A.I.R or something. I know the older cars do not need it but ask TSP. They provided a perfect product, and there was no problems with fitment, throw filter in, throw lid on, attach up, go. The mini-k&n can be anything really. I'm not sure if its necessary if you !air

yeah the k&n fits crappy but thats what i have in there. yes 00-02 need a breather for the air pump. u can get a cheap one from any auto parts store. here is all you need to do with that line....its that breather by that radiator hose. just cut the air pump line that goes into the air lid, put a breather on it, and then zip tie it somewhere. i didnt zip tie it cause it stayed in place

yeah the breather stands str8 by itself on my 00. What sold me on the holley was fitment. They said the K&N needed a new (something) every time you cleaned it. a gasket or something. Not so on the holley, both are cloth type. The holley is blue colored oil. Works great. the price was cheaper by a few buck iirc for holley. maybe 5
