So I already did the installuniversity FRA mod. So next on my list is a SLP lid. Then I read something where you could cut out the baffles or whatever it is inside the stock lid. Also, if I did this is there anyway to get rid of the air silencer box? Trying to save some money, but I feel like I am just being a cheap a$$. Is this worth doing or should I just buy the lid?

Second, where is the cheapest place to buy a SLP lid. I see that ws6store has them for like $90. Be great to find a place with USPS shipping instead of UPS/FedEX, since its usually cheaper.
If ya haven't noticed I am on a budget from hell.

Try and find a used SLP lid, the newer ones are cheaper made and thinner, IMHO.

go on ebay, search for LS1 lid. You should find an LS1 motorsports lid or similar for around 40-60. A lid is a lid when you are on a budget. Dont pick and choose.

This is true. If I am using a paper filter is there a particular one to stay away from. I read where the SLP lids don't fit very well with KN filter, but I will never use one so that doesn't matter.

The "fitment" issues that everyone experiences vary. I have an MTI lid and even without the filter, its a tight seal to the airbox. So its hit and miss.

is your MTI lid clear? If so, does it look good on the car. Its kinda hard to tell if I would like one without seeing it in person. However, being budget minded I shouldn't really care what color or clear or not.

Another question; if I buy a lid for a 2000-2002 can I just block off the air hose hole thats in the lid? Or whatever the extra hole is for?

I remember along time ago (est 2002-2003) I took my stock lid off and broke the fins out and then sanded it smooth. I took it to the track and ran the same times as I did with my slp lid. The aftermarket lids look better because they dont have the silencer box.

Yeah I really hate the way the silencer box looks. I will probably just ditch the fins and sand it down, cause I am strapped for T/A parts cash right now.

couldnt tell you, its not on the car yet. but the ones i have seen in person look really good. and with that hole a lot of people just buy a breather filter from kragen/autozone. they are like 8 bucks

i remeber in 2005 when when i was in that same boat. I was looking all over the place so i could save $10 on a lid. Now im thinkin how good a deal a set of TF 220cc heads are at vengance for $1650!!!! U wanna go fast it gets expensive quick, dont let the bug bite u too hard or u will live on the dollar menu like i used too!!

Well I pulled the fins out of the stock lid(airbox). Sanded it down and all that.
If somebody is on a budget and they do the FRA mod and break the fins out of their lid and smooth it down they will notice a difference. Or atleast I swear I did.

gyrene2003

well, ur gonna wanna fix any problems before u start modding. Ive been down that road.
