what rattling???

all mine sounds like is a little louder.. like i can hear the carb suckin in the air.. sounds like an intake :)

the top of the lid smacks against the bottom of the hood.. that rattling!... i dont know what to do about it

hmm... thats strange mine never touched...

stick the grommets back on with the lid flipped.. squish the filter a bit if you have too and tighten the wingnuts back down. put the grommets on the flipped lid the way they would normally be on the non-flipped lid.

mmmmmmm.. that's interesting...
ya.. mine doesn't touch either..
maybe it's somethin else your hearin

personally IMO this "mod" has more risks than benifits.

get a custom intake, or a k&N(w/flipped lid)

yes i know what do you mean.
Its is like a bubble sound???
If so you can disconnected your Air suction valve. I disconnected mine because its was making so much noise!!!

what kind airfilter are you using? may be the filter is too tall. i never had a problem with it.
try comparing the filter with someother brand names filters.

NAPA filters run tall, try a Fram filter or bend the edges of the aircleaner lid..
