1st Gen & 2nd Gen Interchangeable air intake covers?

[Stamper]

VMax Year

1998

Hello.. I’ve just purchased a beautiful 1998 VMax Gen 1.. but the right side intake cover is cracked.
Can I purchase Gen 2 intake covers and just install them in place ? Or do the size differently than the Gen 1 covers ?
Cheers ,
Stamper

Different fitments so they are not swappable.

There are multiple members on here from whom you could buy a used replacement scoop. Advertise under Parts wanted.

The material that the scoops are made from does not lend itself to an easy welding job. I have had an experienced welder fix one of mine which I then painted with Aluma blast by Martin Senour Paint, a rattle can fabricated specially for painting aluminum. You can do a search for Aluma blast and my screen name to see pictures of how the scoop turned out

If you can’t find one for sale, find CaptainKyle on the forum and send it to him. He’ll get it done. Trust me. In summary my max and me were t boned be a pickup truck and the damage was extensive. Thanks to Kyle you’d never know. Specifically one of my scoops was heavily damaged in about the worst spot possible for a repair. Not anymore

I do have some scoops available
