FTP 104 Lid fits like garbage Recently installed the ftp lid and this thing does not want to seal over the air filter. You can get it sitting right lock it down and it will eventually just pop right off. What gives? $100+ for a flimsy piece of plastic and it doesn't fit? Any solutions for this or a better product?
You have to get it just right. But it is flimsy.
And it rubs on my WS6 hood. In fact, it's nearly worn through.
I'd recommend either returning it and running the SLP lid or just moving to a Chrs1313 setup.
The better option is to remove the airbox and run a 4" tube down to the fender and run a 5" S&B cone filter in front of the driver's side wheel (requires !Air mod).

Not yet. I'm going to. My fab guy is backed way up, though.
But I saw where he did it for a GTO with pie cuts. It was pretty sweet.
Of course, since the F-Body is a bottom breather, the best option is still probably grabbing air like the air box does. Corvettes do it this way too, and it works. But they have more room for a properly sized box on top. Which is my moving to something like the Chrs1313 ram air or some of the carbon fiber intakes that replace the hood latch work well. They have enough volume for fresh air. Otherwise, I'd just use the ram air inlets on the hood. But the box and lid are the limitation. A 5x8" S&B with a 4" tube is going to grab a lot of air.

Bspeck82, does the FTP 104 lid fit poorly with the air filter out?
On my TA certain air filters caused lid fit issues. The K&N air filter was always a real hassle to get sealed.
My FTP 104 lid with paper filter or Green filter fits well on my TA. Stock TA hood just touches the FTP 104 Lid and rubs a little. My TA also has the tall WS6 lower air box. Three years with FTP 104 no issues.

Also running a 100maf with it to a rubber hose that's very flexible.
For almost 200 bucks this is disappointing. I would be open to using something else but I'm not sure what else out there fits this maf without another coupler.

Bspeck82,
That's definitely an annoying situation with a lid. It might be worth a call to Fast Toys to see if they will exchange for a replacement. Found this number on the net for FTP. 877-955-4896. Hopefully FTP will try to be helpful.
