Wrong Lid sent Hey all, I just received my Slp lid and they sent me the 98-99 one without the air fitting on the side. (by the way mines a 2000) Anyway, being the anxious to add hp that I am, I already installed it and said &*%. My question is ; Is the piece I'm missing a permanent part of the box, or does it just pop in the hole? And is it ok to run the car without the hose connected? Any responses welcome. thnx

Re: Wrong Lid sent You need to take the hose that would plug into the side of the airbox on the SLP and plug it with a small filter that plugs into the line. This is what the Whipser lid users all do. I'm not familiar with the setup on the 2000 up cars but I believe I'm describing this correctly <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Wrong Lid sent Yeah, I have a 02' Z28. I also have the wisper lid. All you have to do is go to a local auto parts store and get a small crank case filter that will fit the hose. I called Thunderracing about it and they suggested that. I got mine from autozone for like 2 bucks.
