Looking for suggestions

In my 2010 SS with an Edelbrock SC, I have their K&N CAI. The problem is the air cleaner encloser does not remotely seal to the fender or the hood. I would rather not buy a whole new CAI. Short of making my own, got any ideas? Thanks!

FLEX TAPE...LOL Phil Swift......, you went K & N ; their motto; what you were expecting quality....you can reuse our filter you know and heat soak meat smoke don't worry.... you can reuse our filter you know, just spray lots of oil on it..... Availability at every parts counter in America.......... You spent the money for a supercharger why not a good CAI?

And scoop..... warning small dremel needed for install of scoop....

Not a fan of K&N.

Contact them and see what they say. They might have a solution.

Good luck,

Uh ok. I bought the car this way, not my choice. But I have spoken to several manufacturers to try an find something better. Something made for the Edelbrock SC. No luck. Hence my post here. Thanks.

I will be seeing them at SEMA. I emailed Cold Air Inductions to see if I could catch them in a better mood. Since they don’t make anything for my application, to see if they would sell me a housing. No dice, all or nothing.

Lots of makers of the better CAI can fit a supercharger with a coupling ..basically a rubber ring to be able to change the angle of the charge tube....check around maybe talk to Granatelli.....

I have a Cold Air Induction intake that is completely enclosed. After I installed my Magnuson SC, I was able to but a direct fit adapter tube from the SC to the CAI. Three captive screws hold the CAI cover on so it's supper easy to clean the filter.
