Default Need Some Quick Help

Just got done installing my SLP lid, all is good except I am unsure if I should have a foam/weather stripping piece on it, the car has a K/N with a big lip but i just want to be sure.
Thanks a bunch.

if both are installed correctly it should be sealed.

Thank you. I was just wondering because the original lid had that seal on it but was hard as hell to put on this one is alot easier so you know it never hurts to ask.

like LiT1 said, if all is done correctly there is no need for any sort of stripping

The K&N filters come with a gasket to place in the air box lid. This gasket is required for all lids, to ensure a proper seal between the lid and filter because the filter is slightly smaller in thinkness than the stock paper filters. If it was easy to clamp the lid down, I wouldn't think that the lid is sealing to the filter, thus, you need the gasket. You can get a replacement by calling K&N and telling them that the airbox lid was changed and that you need a new gasket, and they'll ship one to you UPS.
