Stay away from SLP. The only product I have of there's is a Lid. I will be replacing that sometime with an MTI clear w/ holley blue filter(looks sweet). SLP are professional rip-off artists who lie about there HP claims. STAY AWAY!

I think the general consensus is that you are better off with something that has more of a ram air effect, such as the SSRA kit, or FTRA kit. They both use a scoop under the front of the car which you'd think would work better than the SLP kit.

I'd stay away from K&N filters too, as they tend to leak oil into the MAF. I had one on my car when I bought it, and it would "hiccup" at idle. Replaced it with a fram paper filter and the problem went away for good

I use it.
Works great for a NON-ram air t/a, really decent price and a easy install.
On a BONE stock 2002 Non ram air t/a 6 speed it made 324 rwhp. Unfortunately I didnt have a stock pull due to funds but it gained rather well. The Sheet metal duct doesnt show the gains on the dyno. I have a place that more less has a 60 mph wind tunnel and that about the best I could get.

The only time I have seen this happen was on a friend's car who serviced his K&N and oiled both sides and didnt allow proper drying time, the car popped, hissed, and stuttered for about an hour and cleared up.
Cotten filiment filters are fine if proper care is used.

I thought the flowpac was more like doing the free ram air mod. The scoop doesn't come down very far, does it?

Doesnt come down all the way But the air dam does its job, it pushes air up and since you put in the blocker piece in front of the lid, it creates only one way for air to enter the engine.
I personally do not like the only way for air to get into the motor too low. Anywhere it rains runs the risk of hydro lock, I know there is some gap in the SSRA but its all about preference.
I ran a CAI in my LT1 really low but it ran in the fender well.

The Flowpac is really just a cold air kit. There is no direct channelling of air into the air box. In our testing, it was identical in performance gains to the free air mod. The FTRA is a true ram air kit and typically worth 1-1.5 MPH in the 1/4 over the free air mod. You'll also see better throttle response and most people report 5-7 % improvement in fuel economy. You can read the article at www.installuniversity.com for an indenpendent review and testing.
The FTRA is also on sale right now for 152.99

1-1.5mph = 10-15 hp, yea right.
Throttle response is an opinion.
You can get 5-7% better fuel economy but driving slower.
Your promotion of the product sounds to me like a over glorified Tornado.
Fix your link, you spelled university wrong.
