Those with a Whisper Lid... I installed a Whipser Lid on my car. The only thing is one of the clamps wont close. One will but the other one will either not close at all, or close but once I got WOT it will unpop. Anyone know what could be causing this?
Make sure the back tabs are pushed in. I never had problems with mine.

I have one, it fits real tight, but it still fits. the clamps have always been REAL hard to shut, but when they are shut, they STAY shut. you shouldnt have any problems. I reiterate to get the back tabs in.

Folks.. if the lid clips are popping off. That is a classic sign that you do not have the lid on right.
You need to make sure that the front lip of the lid (between the clips) is down inside the groove in the lower airbox. Not in front of it.

I've had my Whisper with K&N for over 4 years now and it's been fine.

And yes, if it's not clamping in place it's just not in right somewhere. I've had two Whisper lids on three different LS1 cars over the last 5 years, they've always fit perfect once seated properly. The new ones with that rubber MAF seal really fit nice.
