Default Intake question help!

i was wondering on intakes which would be the better route....i know the ram air intakes ex-ssra and ftra dont really have much effect until your doing over 120mph or so.....which i dont go that fast very often, so i was considering a different intake, but unsure of which to go with....any idea? ill take good and bad ideas.

We almost exclusively run the Fast toys and SLP lids. They are proven to pick up just as much if not more power then any K&N for this car.

Stick with a lid. Forget the K&N.

Is there any way that you can do Chrs1313 Ram Air with a K&N FIPK on top, with a WS6 hood, sound interesting.

You can but it won't be very effective. It's best to have one ram air sealed to the intake. Other wise it bleeds off

^^ Oh ok, there's no need to spend the money like that, then is better to get the one that goes straight to the ram air.

An under car ram air like the chrs1313 sealed to the lid is better then from the factory hood as it takes the air from the low pressur area of the car.
