Re: Air Lid Question Help guys I did the same swap a while back. The hose you're talking about connects down to the radiator right? The reason you generally have to put a filter on that is the new lid won't have a place to connect the hose. The stock setup utilizes your big filter to also filter the air into that tube. So just slap a small filter in there, a small clamp to hold it and ziptie it to something or wire it down so it doesn't move at all. The grommet can be removed from the stock lid and moved over. I did that cause I'm cheap. The new grommet is something like $15 i think. It just takes a little work to get it out and back in the new lid.

If you buy the lid from them they throw in the small filter and will include a brand new sensor and grommet for $20.
