Default Should I change intakes?? *PICS*

Here's the link to the FIPK I'm selling! https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/642010-k-n-fipk-smooth-lid-mobil-1-oil-cap-pics.html

I have a K&N FIPK sitting in my room right now cause I got a good deal on it. I have a SLP smooth lid on right now. I'm not asking the question of which will perform better, as that topic's been beaten to death I'm asking which you think looks better on MY car, how it's setup right now. Let me know what you think and why...

Here's the pics of how it stands now.










And this is why it makes me wanna switch to the FIPK

youre not gonna gain a thing over the lid w/ the K&N crap so I say leave it. the K&N looks out of place to me. heres an idea though. sell it to some sucker on e-bay and get something else

I'd paint it the same color as your intake manifold. It will look 100x better.

Leave it alone. IMO fipk is prone to a lot of HEAT.

i say leave the lid since it says slp and ss's were done by slp. just my 2 cents.

the reason the k&n looks so good in the other picture is because of all the other little details that are done like the glossy paint and polished pieces in front. if you were going to do all the extra flash with the k&n kit then i would vote for that.
