The cap I purchased is for non-hybrid non-Fsport so it probably designed for the 350 only. They may have a different part for hybrid model, you can go to that website and select the 450 model and look under Air delivery to find the correct part for your 450.

It's actually more work to do that than replacing it with the non-Fsport cap.
First of all, you have no access to the open hole on the Resonator as it points down behind the engine. You still have to loosen the clamp, take it out, then find something that fit the hole to plug in and secure it so it doesn't come off from the air pressure.
Not sure why anyone wants to go through all that effort when the appropriate replacing part is only 15 bucks that fits perfectly fine.

My wife test-drove an FSport and said "Why is it so loud?" After 2 block she turned back and said NO - Man, I really wanted that fully loaded FSport . She then drove a normal 350 AWD and before we even left the dealer parking lot, she said "I want it". Now, I know why an FSport is louder than the normal one. Well, I save about $6000 by going with the normal non-FSport. Win for me and win for her.
