I put in a online order of an slp lid a couple of days ago. I contacted the vendor to check on the shipping and I was told that they are on back order and that I won't be able to get it for about three weeks! Does anyone know what the hell this **** is about????

m_ghonim,

Please do not bang your head too hard. You will be more then happy if you wait it out. We changed over to a new injected molded piece that will provide an even better fit and finish compared to the older SLP lid. We included a slight angle on the tabs so that they slide in the base with much less effort then the previous lid. There are also no more plastic weld marks on the side of the neck. The lid dimensions, because of the new injection tooling have a much tighter tolerance then the old lid giving the same excellent fit and finish to each and every lid.

Hang in there I know you will not be disappointed.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks
Hank

Now if only we could get you guys to produce the CME valences again *sigh*

On a more applicable note, I was actually very impressed with your older lid. If this new one is even better, then it must be really, really nice. Props to you guys.

Any idea when the new lids will be finished? I've been waiting over a month now for mine.

I appologize for the delay, the new lids are finished and we have been shipping about 100 a day. EVERY lid will be shipped out eliminating ALL backorders by next tuesday. If you want to PM me your full name and PH# I can see if your lid has shipped already. It very well might have.

Thanks
Hank

I wouldn't think so, but... does the new lid flow any better than the old one, or just look/fit better?

just got my SLP lid today and put it on....great fit and finish...but Christ almighty it took me like 25 min. to make the MAF fit into the lid. That thing was tight like prom night

SLPPower

The fit is tight (and should be) and it will be very hard to insert the MAF if the lid is room temperature. The instructions should have on the top of them to heat the outlet of the neck with a hair dryer then insert the MAF. Do this for about 2-3 min and the MAF will slide in much easier.

Turbowhistle86, I know this will not help you now, sorry.

Thanks
Hank

i've had my lid since 2003-04 and it got out of shape w/in the first 6 months of owning it. i figured i would complain to you guys if it ever bowed bad enough to were unfiltered air starts getting in lol.

I too had to wait a month to acquire mine from Speed Inc. The fit is beyond freakishly tight. It took me an hour and a half to get that bitch on. My dad and I were both pushing together and couldn't get it on. We were pushing so hard the ridge on the MAF was actually cutting what looked like threads into the inside of the lid. I'm going to have to revisit the instructions about temperature, but all I saw was lubrication "might" be necessary. I put the MAF in the freezer, put soap on the inside of the lid, and put the oven on broil with the door open to heat the end of the lid, still wouldn't go on. Ended up resoaping, refreezing the maf, and taking a propane torch to the lid to get it to fit. Which was still a huge pain in the *** after torching it.

Not to mention what's up with the little plug on the side? That thing was also a major pain in the *** to get in? What's the purpose of that thing? Couldn't the lid be cast without that in there? I like the lid now that it's on, but I was about to smash that **** trying to get it to fit.

I ordered one from ws6store.com and it took almost 2 months b/c SLP had them on backorder....

But they were really good and shipped them out to everyone on the waiting list the same day they received them from SLP. The fit was tight, especially compared to when I put mine on! (this one went on a friends car)

Sorry to hear you had such a hard time. There should be no reason to torch any lid as you might warp the opening. The opening in the new lid is the same size as the old lid. After reading your post this evening, I checked another 2 lids from the stash that I keep in my office when things such as these come up with the hair dryer and without. With the hair dryer the MAF slipped on with no issue. Without the hair dryer and with WD-40 it took me about 2 1/2 minutes to get it in.

As for the plug. If you try and jam the plug in and bend the edges that is when it becomes difficult. Take your time and line it up in the center of the hole by looking from the inside of the lid before you install it. This needs to be a tight fit as well as it needs to be air tight.

Again, sorry you had a hard time.

Hank
