I have a Whisper, I'm sure most of the lids currently available will work about the same.

ALL lids have been proven to be nearly identical to each other in performance gains. The differences are so minimal you are best to buy the cheapest one you can find that you like the looks of. I myself chose the Whisper Carbonfiber style lid. Excellent fit and finish. Was a PITA to get on the first time but after a few heat cycles its great and easy to remove and re-install.

You are going to get a lot of OPINIONS on this question and a lot of "USE THE SEARCH" replies .

Like I said... they are all pretty much equal.

I think that the slp lids are the only ones that have the hook up for the AIR system.

I used an SLP lid since it had provisions for the AIR system. Which is only a hole with a grommet and tube sticking out. I think I may go with a Carbon fiber one, or a smoked clear if I can find it.

Whisper here. I like the look. Check with admin to see what sponsors offer lids.

Almost all sponsors carry lids, and I know TSP has a smoked lid, look around and browse the sponsors pages to find the one you like.

I personaly have a MTI clear lid.

New Era performance parts are good people to deal with. They sell the SLP lid.
