i have a 2000 trans am, bout an mti lid. i noticed the factory lid had a hose connected to the baffles on the driver's side. what do i do with it? there is no place to connect it to on the new lid.

thanks

 

That is the air intake for AIR pump. If your lid doesn't come with the adapter then it should have come with a small separate filter that fits the hose. For now you can just put any kind of foam or paper filter over the hose until you get the small filter.

 

autozone sells the little filter for like $10.. then you can connect the hose away from everything..

 

cool, yea i was about to ask where i could pick it up

what size or type of filter do i ask for?

do you have a part #?

thanks

 

its usually in their cheesy import mod section.. its just a small filter that plugs into a 1" hole..
here is a pic of one..
Lid and Filter

 

cool, thanks

 

When you install the filter be careful not to kink the hose or you'll throw a SES light. I zip-tied mine to the small eyelet near the top of the radiator.

 

well i couldn't find a filter like the one int hat pic, but i got a $2 foam filter.

they had some small filters, but the fit over 3/8-1/2", and not into

 

Here's the listing from Thunder:

07-62-1030 K&N Breather Filter, Required for use with aftermarket induction lids on 2000-2002 model LS1 Camaro/Firebirds $15.75

 

thanks

just wish i could find it locally instead of having to order it

 

you can if you keep shopping around.. try other autoparts stores.. its just a simple filter.. similar to the ones people install on their head covers..

 

well hey, you said autozone had it, is that where you got it from?

if so, which autozone? (in houston also)

 

advanced autoparts should have it also

 

Virtually every autozone I have gone into has had them. Its in their cheesy import add on section where everything is "Type R" looking.. Last time I was in there, the same filter had a little "Iron Cross" stamped in the top.. geesh some of this stuff is just such commercial crap! but hey, its under the hood so whats it matter, huh?

Advanced Autoparts is very similar to Autozone and should carry it as well. (its actually the first place I purchased one.. and have since been purchasing them at Autozone.. I end up selling them to people with lids that dont have the hose plugged.. makes me $10.. hehe) I am still on my stock lid..

 

yea, but which one did you go to?

i went to 2 in my area, and neither of them had anything like it. i did find a small cone shaped filter that looked similar, but only fits over 3/8-1/2", and not into. and those were in the sport compact section.

i even gave them a k&n part#, the one DaddySS posted, and it didn't come up on their computer.

gonna try some of them small speed shops in the area next.
