Default SLP induction kit or just lid and filter?

Would yall buy the SLP induction kit "lid, filter, bellow, induction housing" or just the lid and filter for a bolt on 98 z? What kind of difference is expected in gains? Thanks

Subtle difference, but nonetheless there is one. I would honestly just spring for a lid and paper filter. Probably find a lid in the for sale section for 50-60$. Save the rest of your money for a cam.

just get a lid and SSRA kit of FTRA kit the K/N is only nice because you can reuse it but if you oil it too much its can gunk up your maf and make it run crapy till you cleen it haha.
When I'm at the track I just take the filter out anyway , another reason to have a screen in your maf haha.

Just get the lid and you can make the 'cold air induction' mod yourself and save the cash.

Default Recommendations!

We'd recommend a Fast Toys 85mm air lid and a Fast Toys Ram Air Kit. That is going to give you the best performance

The problem with the SLP kit is that it is not a ram air kit since the opening to their duct work is sitting half way up the a/c condensor and not in the path of oncoming air. The FTRA is a true ram air kit and works VERY well. You can check out:

For an unbiased 3rd party review. Thanks!

+1 trust me a lid and filter will do and u could slip a bellow on if u wanted to wont hurt. ram air is nice but its the fact that u have to be going down the road at a good speed to really make it work, if your wanting "ram air" buy a magna charger, if your just wanting good flow like i said a lid and filter will do

Thanks for the link I like the look of yalls sytem but because of purchase I think I am going to just get a lid and a filter for now. Maybe in the future I will make a purchase of your product.
