SLP Lid Owners Please Come In.
SLP Lid Owners Please Come In. So it was so nice today I decided to make a junk yard run. You never know what you can find there. Back in Feb I found a GMMG for 75 bucks. Today I found an SLP lid . One of the tabs is slightly broken off but the lid is in nice condition overwise.
My question is that there is a foam ring around the inside of the lid. Was this put there by SLP or did someone add that foam because they were using the K&N filter? The reason I ask is I may be parting with my smoke TSP clear lid soon and I do not use the K&N and want to know if I should remove this foam before switching lids. The foam is also tearing in places.
Thanks!

I have an SLP lid on my Ws6 and i do run a k and n filter but i have never heard of a foam liner in the slp lid, my buddy and his brother also have slp lids with k and n's and niether of them do either as well as my buddy's z28 so im not sure if it was placed there or what but good luck

Here are a couple of pictures of the gasket. Looks like someone put it on as it is not even close to straight.

Mine had some foam on it from SLP, however, it was so crooked and had so many gaps/spots that weren't sealing, I stripped it off and resealed it with some automotive grade weatherstripping I had laying around.

While I was cleaning the lid the foam started coming off so I ripped the rest off. I didn't think it looked original but figured I'd check first. I may put my Smoke clear TSP lid for sale in a week or so if this lid works out.
Before someone asks why I would want to swap out my smoke clear TSP lid for an SLP, I picked this lid up for 10 bucks at the junkyard and while I love the look of the TSP smoke clear lid I'm unemployed and could really use some cash so I decided a lid is a lid and this SLP would be just as good. I have also read that the TSP clear lids tend to crack and while mine is not cracked in anyway at this point it always bothers me and makes me look everytime I take my car out. I'm also not crazy about the way the glue or whatever it is they used to seal the neck dripped down around the neck on the inside. I'll put a thread in the FS section once I swap lids out and get some decent pictures of the TSP. What so you guys think the clear TSP is worth?
Thanks guys!

foam came with the K&N filter, the lid does not come with a foam piece, however i bought the filter when i had a V6 camaro and kept it when i sold the car, so my SLP lid does not have the foam strip on it, and its been like that for over 2 years, i have yet to notice any problems

Good find by the way. I remember when you posted that up.

I did the exact same thing except with window weatherstripping (foam sticky stuff) Home Depot for $2.00 worked great.
