Question Cold Air Intake Question

Currently my 00 WS.6 is stock and I would like to know from anybody's experience, would it be best to just change the Stock Lid itself? Or would it be best to purchase something like the SLP Flow Pac Cold Air Intake kit?

Just change the lid to an aftermarket one (take a pick). Leave that flow crap alone.

Just get a lid, they're all the same performance wise so go with what you think looks best(like the clear MTI), but I may be biased

a lid and some type of ram air or cold air kit will give you descent power gains at a good price.

NO im not stock at all, but I couldnt think of anything else i could bolt on the car, so i went to thunder racing yesterday,brought the ram air and went to the track that night and saw some time differences. Im really just startin out with my car too, so who ever wanted to know about the lid, if you have any ?'s I'll be glad to help. I got most of my info from this site, but sometimes you can get cussed out if you ask something, so be careful

I have an almost stock 2000 WS6, the previous owner had an SLP lid and some kind of high performance filter. I want to make the car my own so I bought the volant kit with the dual filters that says it seals to your hood (needed a little tweaking) and only picked up max 4 hp, but the area under the curve was a little higher pretty much from 2000 rpm up, torque was almost the same. Both runs had the hood open. Go with whatever you like, but the lid approach is cheaper and looks more o.e., the volant is rather pricey, showed only slight gains, but looks pretty cool.
