I just did the same swap, put a ram air lower airbox on my reg ta. I just swapped over the metal clips and it worked fine for me. I know sometimes they clamp down really tight for some reason on some cars, some they dont......

The area between the clips goes IN the groove in the lower airbox just like the picture above. Any other way and will 'pop' the clips off.

My SLP lid did that for awhile. The lid wouldn't seat right, it ended up being that the lower airbox was to far to the right. I loosened up the four bolts and pulled it to the left and tightened them down at the same time. Clamps haven't come loose and the lid seats properly now.

I had this exact problem with my SLP lid. I eventually figured out that if you take off that rubber ring that came with the car that is between the lid and the MAF and just stick the MAF in directly to the lid than the lid will fit perfectly. I had to do a little shaving to get the MAF to slid right in, but not a lot.
