The coupler that connects the FIPK to MAF on an LT1 car is not an easy part to source. Mine has been "shrinking" over the years and I noticed that the 4.25"-3.5" reducer actually had a bottlneck down to 3" in the middle of that reducer. I was looking around for options, and was about to head to Home Depot or Lowe's for a Fernco fitting. I called up K&N to see how much the part costs directly from them as the new version of the FIPK looks like it has a nicer/newer design. I got a CSR within 30 seconds of dialing and explained my situation. She asked when I purchased the kit (1998) and then asked for my contact info. I asked how much it would cost, she said "Nothing! It's covered under warranty." I knew the filters were lifetime, but I had no idea that the rubber fittings, band clamps, and plastic elbow would also be covered!
Bottom line, any CAI or filter I need in the future will be coming from K&N. I have no affiliation, just wanted to pass along a good experience with an American company (I believe/hope all their parts are still Made in the USA anyway!).
