What is up with the metal screen the the TB??

i have a problem with the fit of my SLP lid as well....I can't get it to stay closed

Interesting point. The factory Y-pipe was indeed flattened for increased ground clearance, but is it the same diameter as aftermarket (round) pipes?

Compromises everywhere = be it the MAF screen, squashed y-pipe.

Thanks for the humor.

Yeah, I know! I was looking at my stock exhaust on my WS6 as I was thinking of getting a catback and noticed the stock ex was pretty beefy, except for the flattened pipe!!! Ridiculas! GM engineers are not the smartest bunch of jabronies..............

if i knew how to weld, i'd just cutout the flat section and weld in mandrel bent pipe there
