98-99 slp lid on an 01
98-99 slp lid on an 01 I bought a 98-99 air lid, I have an 01 and don't not have the time to gut the air system.
What are my options regarding the air hose and connecting to the lid?
Can I buy the connector from slp? I don't want to really use a filter on the hose because it doesn't look clean.

I went to Advanced Auto and bought this rubber expansion plug that has a bolt going through the middle, and it increases in size as you tighten the bolt. I forgot the exact size, so just measure the hole and go buy a plug that will fit.
Im not really trying to plug the hole because then it would result in me putting a filter on the Air hose.
I would rather find a way to fabricate a connector like slp sells and run the air hose to my lid. Or buy one obviously

has anyone noticed any improvements in regards to flow if the air pump is not connected to the lid? i was thinking of disabling the AIR pump and plug that hole on my SLP lid...sorry to hijack the thread
No im curious if having it connected is actually the best also.
I just don't want to delete it because i have no way of progaming it not to throw the codes.. and the Filter on the end of the air hose just doesn't look clean.

Is it normal for you to notice the air filter from the back on the lid?
Im using a fram(orange) and when everything is in place and what appears to be sealed i can still see some orange from the back on the lid

Verdad Gallardo Oh yeah sorry man, I was thinking of deleting the AIR like I did, not keeping it. So are you saying the lid you have for an earlier car isn't equipped with an AIR tube hole? I thought they all had AIR, but I could easily be wrong, I don't know a whole lot of the fine details about these cars year to year.
Yeah the SLP lid i bought has the hole for AIR, but it did not come with the connectors to hook it up, so it would be ideally for a 98-00.
SLP does sell the hardware(elbow connector and hose) to connect to the stock air tube but it is $35 and didnt know if there was another way to connect it or something.
Also i took a couple pictures of the filter showing through the back of the lid. I messed around with the lid and it appears to be in place so im not sure why i can still see the filter

Did you buy this lid from slp? I ask for a couple reasons. 1 if you did they come with all the hardware you need, and 2, the plastic weld on that lid looks like ****, kinda like it does on my whisper lid...
My slp lid has superb build quality...my whisper feels cheap, and has crappy plastic welds like that one, but i was limited as its on my v6..

Just reread and realized you never said it was an slp....i have a picture from the same spots i can send you to show you the quality difference. You get what you pay for man.
I called slp directly to get my lid, cutting out the middle man..

just slide the hose into the hole? As for the filter, check your intake bellows to make sure it is pushed all of the way on. If it is loosen the bolts to the rad cover to move the lower forward away from the engine and that should close the gap.
I'd just get a gromit and a plastic pcv connector and hook it up that way. The "help!" Section at auto zone or whatever usually has a good selection of this kind of stuff.
As far as the air filter, just buy an ACDelco filter with the black rubber seal and **** can the fram with the orange.

you could put a filter on the intake hose for the air pump down under the car where it cant be seen to keep the clean look and plug the hole in the side of the lid if youre dead set on keeping the air system

I don't know anything about whats needed to pass emissions but if you want the clean look why not just delete the AIR all together. You don't get any codes from deleteing the air system or at least I didn't on 3 Fbodys. 2 2000s and a 02. EGR however is another story.
