Default Do all lids require you to cut part of intake

Is this true? Someone said I think the slp Lid you have to cut part of the intake tube to make it fit and also a new MAF would require the same. Any comments would be appreciated

I have never heard that. As far as I know. No lid requires any cutting for installation.

I have the SLP lid and all you have to do to install is remove the stock lid and baffles and then it just bolts right there just like the old parts. Only needed a flat head screw driver to install. Never heard of the cutting.

that could quite possibly be the most ridiculous and misinformed statement ever made on this forum. i mean seriously think about it and you'll realize that it's just dumb. whoever you heard this from should be shot <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

So, Pontiac man, How do really feel about this subject?......Just kiddding, thanks for your input. I'm new to the Ls-1 engine and am learning quickly. I'm tring to mod my car but still keep factory warranty, so Ive got to be able to put everything back to stock when I go back to dealer. Ive been burn't before on my 96 T/A by dealers for something as little as putting 255 instead of 245's on my car. Thanks

Cutting has probably been confused with SLP CAI install. It requires cutting of the bottom of the airbox similar to the FRA mod.
