Curious too. I tried to be cute and mold the stock one with a heat gun to make space for the intake tubing using the Slee relocation kit I had. I ended up with a hole. Then I just lopped the corner off and RTV'd some thick plastic over it followed up with some duct tape. It works, but it...
I can't tell much from your video, but check your exhaust hangers. I chased around a grinding noise for a few weeks and it ended up being the driveshaft rubbing the exhaust.
Definitely interested. Close to pulling the trigger on a Magnuson kit so please keep us posted, I'd love to have something I could turn up and make more power with in the future.

Here's what's going on with the mt/rs and a little background on my set:
I have a buddy who's a manager at Discount. I put 4 on in April 2014. I went back this past June to put a 5th on as a spare and to do my first rotation/rebalance @8k miles. I know, I waited a little long. One of the...
Keep us updated. I have the same issue, just haven't had a chance to look at the cap to see if it's fixable. The price of the new cap has me balking, but if that's what it takes to fix....
