Higgy,
I can make pretty much anything you want. PM me and we'll talk some more about this. I'll be back on the puter tonight. ;)

Does LT5 filterbox need to be opened up? I put in a K&N, if that makes any difference.

And where are flow limitations anyway here, on stock LT5? Intake? Exhaust? I asked that once before, and missed the follow-up there...

Seems there must some flow restrictions either in the box or the filter. Our engines can suck in the accordion tube. That means a lot of vaccum, that means something is restricting.

Yup. Marc H sells hoops to prevent this.

So at the very least, a can opener is in order for the lid? Or OP's lid? Or perhaps one of those 3-headed SLP set-ups???

The 3 headed SLP intake is not a good way to go. I changed mine to an open air box and it was like night and day. Sold it that week.

Shrade, This cover will have no problem holding up to the Vacuum the LT5 motor will produce. I hope i am answering your question, and I understand you correctly. :)

YesSir - I'm considering options now (with a FULL plate of maintenance and ancillary issues at the moment)...
