I don't know if anyone else runs the same kind of intake setup like I do with an open airbox/EHS lid with a spray can lid in the snorkel location, but I was having issues getting my UNI filter to install properly with the spray can lid shoved in there since it was so tall. It would contact the filter when I slid the filter into the intake and it wouldn't seat properly. I tried trimming the edge of the lid to clear, but it still wasn't enough, and it started losing stiffness and would collapse if I tightened the clamp too much on it. Anyway long story short I went online and looked for some 2.5" pipe plugs to use that were only 1" tall (very tough to find anything that size that was still rigid and wouldn't collapse) and found some that worked perfect. I had to order 5 of them though because you had to buy them in bulk. So I am offering a FREE plug to anyone that wants one. Like I said I'm not sure in any of you run that type of setup but these are perfect for that and look cleaner than a spray can lid. If you want one just PM me your address and I'll send 1 out. I've only got 4 so it's limited, but I won't be using the extras for anything else so I figured I would share. Also be aware I'm not on here everyday, usually just once a week, so be calm if I don't reply within a few days. Here's some pics of them. I also think you can shave the small flange off the edge and turn it around to have the flat side outward for a cleaner look. You can also see in the pics that it sits right inside the rubber flange and doesn't come close to touching the filter.

That's slick. I was personally wondering if a dip can in there would do the trick but never got around to checking. I still have my snorkle there. Great for really bad rides... but a little pain in the but when taking things apart and putting them back together.
