Does anyone else have this problem, do i need to buy new ones or wtf. Why when i post it doesnt have an arrow or bold blue print by it?

your lid is properly installed wrong, mine used to do the same thing. i had the lip of the lid sitting in the wrong spot

moving to the external forum.. Do u have smooth bellows? Is this int he vette or a newer car? if its the vette, then just throw a filter directly on the maf or tb if running SD.

No its on the 99 Formula, and the lid isnt sitting quite right, but ive messed with it plenty of times.

do u have a smooth bellow or fernco or is the air tube still stock?

**1959ls1** · 07-09-2006, 06:48 PM

No the bellows are not smooth

I have the old slp lid and used to have that problem..I just took 2 sets of needle-nose pliers and bent the clips some more..they are nice and tight now....

Air tube stock still

**ninobrn99** · 07-09-2006, 07:46 PM

that was the next suggestion...

**1959ls1** · 07-09-2006, 08:25 PM

Get a smooth bellow or fernco?Whats the difference?

**ninobrn99** · 07-09-2006, 08:36 PM

i wasnt suggesting to get one. I had the fernco on mine, but it wouldnt allow my lid to seat correctly either. I got rid of it and put the stocker back on. Try bending the clips. If that doesnt work, take a pic so we can see whats going on with it.
