I've been interested in the SSRA but.... while in most threads I've read people say it's good, almost no one seems to have one. Why is that?

It's kind of expensive, gets the filter dirty faster, and can get easily yanked off.

I have one, but the bottom got yanked off because I can't drive a bean up a goats ***. I've still got the top part on though!

cuz some people have this thing with it sucking up water even though the chances are slim to none and theyre little bitches

So, without going back through the posts, I'm assuming the gains are mminimal compared to cost.

you can pick up from .1-.3 and 1 or 2 mph from it, so for the cost of the FTRA its not bad to jsut upgrade

The gains are somewhat disputed, but I can say that I felt a difference from 50-60mph on up IIRC. I also had no problems with cooling like some experience. Sucking up water isn't a problem either.

It's a good mod, probably on the same level as a pulley I'd say, but the results aren't as definitive.

Summed up.

Not many people are willing myself included to dump this kinda cash into something that isn't proven like a lid headers etc.

Me I'd not bother running it, that 200 could get me a used n20 kit sway bar etc.

I debated between the two, but went with the FTRA in the end. The concept and the way it works makes more sense to me I guess.

The SSRA is being made out of a new material, that's more flexible and more resistant to breaking if it hits something. FYI.

I noticed the price is reduced and with free shipping. I hope they are the "new material" and not a clearance of the old stock.

i just bought one with the new plastic, seems like a quality piece. getting those body clips off of the bumper though for the install was a pita. its supposedly a dyno proven mod and for 188 shipped aint a bad deal. ive been thinking of cutting it even with my bumper that way it wont yank off if i scrape it. i had to relocate my tranny cooler too so take that into consideration if you have a cooler. anyway for all those who are skeptical im going to the track this friday with this being my most recent mod, ill chime in after the race to let you know the results w a video.

ill chime in this friday with a video and let you know how it worked for me at the track, where it matters.

I almost bought one when I ordered my lid, but for the price it just didn't seem worth it. I talked to a few people who had them, some said they felt a difference, some said they didn't feel anything at all. Just didn't seem worth the money to me. If it could be dyno proven, my mind might change, but I still doubt I'd consider buying one.

your not going to feel a difference with this mod, but you may see a difference in track times or if you race on the street your car may be faster. like i said im going to the track on friday with the ssra as my latest mod and will post up the results.

i'd give it more credit at the track than on the dyno. i highly doubt it is possible to see a gain on the dyno, all you are doing is re-routing the intake, not making it flow better while standing still...the hp gain would be higher the faster you go, but most likely nothing at a standstill...
