Default Probs with UMI STB fitments

I installed my UMI STB and I have a K&N Breather cap and its putting alot of downwards pressure on the top of the breather cap. I feel if I give it to much throttle itll crack my oil filler neck.

I put the supplied washers on the top side of the STB.



Any suggestions???

I'm sure the UMI piece wasn't designed to fit with a K&N Breather cap. Why not remove the oil filler neck and plug the breather directly into the valve cover, like this:

Hello,

Its the oil cap, the only to really do is go back the stock cap in which we built the STB around. For some reason the K&N must have a longer neck on it.

Hope that helps,
Ryan
