stock lid
If you have absolutely no money I would dremel off the baffles but if you compare a stock lid to an aftermarket lid, the neck is a huge part of the upgrade. The stock one is oval and kind of bottle necks. The aftermarket ones are just a huge round circle all the way to the maf. I would just save up $100 and buy an aftermarket one.

i do not see any hole in my lid or baffle or anything for the hose to connect to. its been sittin in this place for a while from how it looks.. if theres nowhere for it what should i do? if its why im failing smog..
I'd say roughly 8rwhp can be achieved with just a good fitted aftermarket lid. Mate that to the LS6 intake and maybe a new air filter (k&n if money permits) with a nice catback and your car will breathe a WHOLE lot better. Imo. 
your best bet might be just ask around until you find a performance friendly shop that will pass your car........maybe for a little extra $$$$$.
I've seen threads about guys in CA that know about shops that will pass them, try going to a speed shop that builds fast cars they might know of a way around the smog test.

Now back to the regularly scheduled program!!

well probably not, and no i have not found where it goes.. im stuck iv looked everywhere, its been sittin there awhile.. i dont know like the fact that its just sitting there sucking air.. the car is 100% stock intake wise.. so it should go somwhere.
It is ok for that thing to suck air really. The worst it could do is suck a little dirt into the AIR pump. Most people, myself included, pull that annoying bastard out if we don't have to pass smog. All it does is pump air into the exhuast manifolds for about a min, after you start the car. If you have no where to hook it and are worried about damaging it get a little filter or make on for it. The only reason it hooks to the factory lid is so it pulls filtered air.

correct, however if my car is stock.. why isnt it hooked up to the intake? and why is there no place for it to be hooked up?. i would strip the pump out but if i do that il get ses light correct? i dont have any tuneing capabilities to tune the codes out either..
It was probably modded at one time and some put the wrong parts on it when they de-modded it.
