Intake Overhaul... Now, I have read all of the posts, most notably Jerami's default to every newbie (me). But, I need some "from the street" reviews and opinions of Direct-Flo -vs- SLP Lids / FTRA -vs- SSRA / and Bellow suggestions. I need people who have all of these or one of these and their opinions on each and ANYTHING else you may know that I NEED to know before buying and upgrading my intake system. Note: Later upgrades to include TB and MAF. Please lend me a hand gents!!! Thanks alot to everyone!

Hey what's going on. I just redid my intake in July and I went with an SLP lid, because I got an awesome deal on it. I'm happy with it so far, no issue with it. I wanted to go FTRA, but I also found a good deal on the SLP cold air induction kit, and got that...it's cool as well, but the FTRA has the block-off plate which is nice. I descreened my stock MAF, doesn't do anything really. I left my stock bellows, as it doesn't make much of a difference. Haven't touched the TB yet, but I'm just going to get a ported stock one. I also added an LS6 intake, which is badass. Best of luck, and let me know if I can help you in any way.

As a side note....unless you get a spankin deal on SLP stuff, I'd personally avoid their gear. Its overpriced for the most part. TSP has a pretty nice lid. Another option is a FIPK, but thats a bit more expensive. Looks badass tho
