You probably have it in upside down if it is the correct filter.

no its not upside down. i put it in the hole were the filter goes but on the other side of the filter it has a orange rubber that doesnt let me close it with the lid.

yeah i had the same issue. said f it and did the airbox mod. return the filter and its only like 35 bucks to do the mod.

the gasket is probably a little bigger than your stock one. you probably just have to force it a little.

yea but with the airbox mod u used a k&n filter.

i tried forcing it but it still was not going in. should i make a hole by cutting the orange rubber on the fram filter

ive been driving with out the lid, is that bad.

The Fram doesn't quite fit, I tried too. It's close, but the airbox lid has an indent that doesn't work with the filters flat bottom. I think Fram has the same part listing for the ss/sc and the Trailblazer, so I dunno if the they just eyeballed the filters and assumed it'd work for both or if there was a change somewhere along the line. I just ended up getting another Delco from the dealer.

If you cut into the filter, it stops being a filter. And careful driving around with the lid off, there's nothing holding the filter on.

do u think i can still return it. ive been driving on it for about a week. also you can hear the whine louder

Dunno, you could try. Worst they could do is say no.
