rubbing SLP lid??? i just installed slp's "flowpak" (cai, k&n filter, lid & smooth bellows) and have noticed the top of the lid is rubbing on the underside of my 99 Z hood. it's nothing severe, and it looks like it's pretty much done now, i just guess the hood thought the lid needed some final sanding? just a little patch roughly .5"X1" marred on the lid and a small spot on the hood itself. just curious if this happened to anyone else with an aftermarket lid. the lid may have just been slightly out of place, because i moved it around and now have a better fit on everything. don't know if it's still rubbing or not. also, wondering if anyone actually had their car dyno'ed with and w/o this setup to see how much of a difference this kit makes. any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
welcome to the club :uzi:. my slp lid rubs the hood too despite several adjustments. will be replaced eventually.
i bought the same wasye of money flow pac kit as well, figure 8-12rwhp from the lid, 0 from the bellows and filter.

thanks for the feedback guys. yeah, i figured just as much from that kit, but eh, it sounds nice to tell all my friends that know nothing 'bout ls1's and they're all like "damn" but it'll do till i throw on the vortech... muahahaha! ::evil smirk:: does anyone know how much that k&n fipk adds? or would that really not be worth the $? thanks again guys.

The front lip of the lid goes in the groove in the lower airbox.. not in front of it.

My lid rubs and it doesnt fit right. Yes it was installed right, the lid is just not fitting the air box right. I have a tnt ring with an extremely cut bellows maybe a couple inches left of it. But before the ring, it didnt fit right either. I think its a bad design, and im about to go to a TSP Smoked Lid. So any body that want a SLP Belmished Lid for like 50 bucks & shipping, its yours! JP

My TSP never rubbed but it used to pop off from the back whenever I hit the gas really hard. I trimmed the smooth bellows and it stopped doing it all the time but every once and a while it will still slip out of the tabs in the back on one side. I'm convinced it's still the bellows.
