First drive after SLP airlid install

I cant believe the difference in sound coming from the engine when I stomp on it...I knew there would be some difference but not this much. Sounds so good!

I think a SLP lid is like the "gateway" drug when it comes to moding. Get yourself to rehab ASAP. Your bank account will thank me later.

Not quite, a ram air grabs fresh cold air from under the bumper.

The ss hood has the air travel in a circular direction and it isn't sealed to the air box so it can't really work as a vacuum and "suck" air into the intake

OP the better ram air type setups are going to be like the SSRA or maybe a Chris1313.

I remember when I bought my first slp lid/smooth bellow combo back in 2005

It really does start the vicious cycle of modding
