I just finished the paint on my lid, and I went to slide the MAF in. It's not even CLOSE. I got the lid used from a member on here.

Anybody else have this problem? How the hell do I get it in? I just got all excited to put it on the car finally, and now it won't go. The lid isn't f#*ked up is it?

you have to heat it and "make it fit". its done the same way wit the slp lid as well

Crap.. now I'm worried about screwing up the paint. How much heat are we talking here? Hair dryer, over the stove, keep my distance with a torch? Or maybe I can boil some water and stick the end in..

I don't suggest shoving It in an getting it to fit. If you ever have to remove it it's a pain in the *** because the maf has the lip in the front

i had to hold my lid over the stove for a bit to get it flexible enough to fit

The opening on that lid doesn't even look the same shape as the maf. Looks warped..

why risk the paint or breaking it? Just get a coupler like mentioned above. Smooth Bellow time

the smooth bellow/coupler is on the opposite side of the maf

I used a hair dryer and had to shove that sob when it got warm enough.

if you looked close the opening on the lid was previously broken. Wonder why?

I kept the torch far away, and in no time it was easily movable!

That's what that **** is, RTV?

Go buy a sewage coupler from Home Depot or lowes. Simple fix.
