I just went out and checked mine (I wasn't sure) But I have an aluminum 95mm and it dose have a thin gasket.
Not sure where to get one,,,try searching google.
Don't use silicon or anything like that,,,,put it on dry. You can make one if you find some very thin gasket material.

Didn't I send one? It only seals between alum flange and the maf, low pressure, use it dry. Might need to go the dealer, 99' - 04' Lightning......

Just went to the dealer. What a pain. What is the VIN? What is the application code? They seemed to find it but NO gasket.
I'll either put it together dry or get some gasket material and cut my own.
It is interesting that on the Powerdyne steel air filter housing that it is for 3 1/2" filter and has only about a 3.375" opening where the MAF would bolt onto. I cut it out and opened up the opening in the steel housing so now the lightning 90mm MAF on one side and the 4" adapter on the inside has a nice clean 4" all the way thru and no restriction. Will use a smaller air filter 5" long but it will fit in the powerdyne housing and retain the cold air access opening in the fender well and not be subjected to the hotter under hood engine compartment temps. I'll see how it goes. Maybe compare to an open 8-10" long filter later. ?less restrictive but exposed to engine compartment temps?
