Default Lid Question...

I know this topic has been brought up a million times. And Yes, I have used the search function, but I can't quite seem to make up my mind about a lid. I've heard good and bad things about all lids (MTI, SLP, DirectFlo, TSP)..what have you.

My question is...which lid has the best fit and performance gain for a 99 WS6...??

Thanks for your input!

well all lids are the same.. they will all add the same amount of hp.. pick based on looks.. i say slp's lid is the best.. add it with a k and n filter to get the most outta it.. u can get the lid for about 95 bucks on ebay and the filter for 45 bucks.. i felt a lil bit of a difference after..b4 i had the lid i was dead even with a mach 1 mustang.. after the lid i got the same mach 1 by half a car to 3/4 a car. its a must have mod

i have an slp with an aftermarket ss hood...it rubs just a little...but it aint a show car...i really doubt just a lid will give you half a car more on a mach 1...

half a car on a mach 1 is believable. an extra 5-10 at the wheels gives you an edge

btw, i vote SLP

Thanks for the input fellas. I have a K&N filter already. Looks like I'll be purchasing my lid soon.


EDIT: Just ordered my SLP Lid
