    Damnit. I should have read your post. That way I could have known what flipping my lid does.

    Now how do muffler bearings work and do they really quiet your car down that much?

    You mean the not yet painted, lowered, hood scooped, in desperate need of some rims accord? Why yes, it most certainly is....

    Port Perry RAM air!! LOL:lol :lol

    sorry, inside joke..(PP being my home town) everyone and i mean everyone did this "mod"

    it just lets air in closer to the filter, therefore its less restrictive.
    -as is my understanding, please correct me, i could be mistaken

    flipping the lid means ! turn over the cover of the airbox and screw it in on the other side ! you'll have a nice openning between the airbox and the cover ! and it will let air come into the carb easiely !

    yeah, that damp flipped airbox lid mod... take a weekend, think it over.. its gonna need some maj0r re-tooling of the carb & surrounding area. You're better off just doing a complete motor swap than considering this mod....... Then again, if you don't have your airbox lid flipped... you're just not race ready hehehehe..

    flip the lid... screw it back down.... only takes a few hours... err.. seconds

    unscrew the two wingnuts on the top of your airbox. take the lide off, you can now see the airfilter.
    put the lid back on UPSIDE DOWN... put the wingnuts back on.

    the whole .5 may not do much, but it sure sounds good when driving

    I had the same problem... just put your bodyweight over the lid and press down hard while screwing the wingnut back on. I found it went on easier upside down (the wingnut that is) because the threads were closer to that side... all you need is a couple threads to hold and within a week or so, everything fits together no problem.... my airfilter may be squished a little but ahh well.... shit happens
