Default SLP Cold Air Intake

Is a cold air intake really worth it or should I save my money towards headers? Im definitely getting a lid but just want an opinion on COI.

i would spend my money elsewhere - you already did the FRA mod
if you do want a cold air intake setup, look into the fast toys ram air or the super sucker ram air - they are just that a CAI with a ram air effect

LTs are better but its a descent mod for what it costs imo.

I had the SLP cold air kit on my 98 Formula (only because I got it for a great deal used) and it did nothing for my performance.

Get the Fast Toys ram air kit instead, it's much better.

Does SLP actually make anything of value? There headers are too low, their heads/cam are too expensive, their cold air intake and smooth bellows are pointless. What exactly do they do worthwhile?

Just replace your air lid w/ intake piping like me. It's worth it.

Their lids are decent (some say the best) and their cat-back exhaust systems are very good (especially the 2OTL and dual/dual). That's about it.

ANYTHING that gets colder air into the engine without heating it up (like the CAI) is worth the effort.

I don't know, a long time ago I put the SLP flo-pac, LT's and Y-pipe w/cats. I was pretty happy with my gains. See Sig.
Of course if I had the money to do it all over again I would buy different LTs.
