From what I've read on this board they're mostly cosmetic. However, if you're running a wet nitrous kit, they're a lot easier to plumb then the stock baffled bellow.

If you're looking for a clean looking engine bay, then go for it. But I'd suggest putting the $50 towards something else.

...but they look so pritty. i want a set of slp (dont get the ebay ones!) i just wont pay that price. if somebody wants to sell em cheaper, ill buy em, but IMO not worth more than $30.

do a search for fernco, a much cheaper alternative.

What about the VR Velocity Stack that goes in side the throttle body. Is it not worth the money as well?

i was trolling around a few days ago and a lot of the guys were saying that the velocity stack melts in the TB.

I did the fernco bellow and it was tiresome having to heat it up and fit it in and everytime u want to take it off u have to disassemble everythjing but to save $45 and buy it from home depot, it was well worth it at least to clean up engine bay. suggest u go buy it at home depot. just in case u don't already know its called fernco, go to plumbing section buy 3 incher. black color. U can heat it up by using microwave for about 30 sec to 45sec.
About Vr. I also have it and I have to say that I did notice a difference in throttle response. others would probably so nay but for $50 its a good cheap mod unless your thinking of porting throttle body.
And just for FYI, the it is a little bothersome fitting the vr with a fernco but with trial and error youll get it.
I have had it for about 2 months and I check induction at least every week because of taking off filter and recharging it and freeing debris from it but it still hasn't melted. and I am in 100 degree weather daily

An air bellow will help a little, not that you could measure it probably. I would go with the airflow model, which cost $15 and doesn't require heating like the fernco. Whether $50 for the SLP is worth it is a judgement call, but I would say that $15 for the airflow is definately worth it.

As for the velocity stack, stay away from that thing. It makes the air flow faster, but why? It is because it has to flow through a smaller hole. Grab a throttle body off of a Camry, and that will increase your velocity too. Velocity doesn't mean crap, what you want is flow. Also, I think it covers up your EGR hose as well, which will cause small problems.

SLP's is really nice. Helps dress the engine bay up and it takes care of the fitament problems I had with my (Grantelli or whatever) LID It fits nice and tight now.

I wasn't expecting an increase in power though. Hopefully it will take off .00001 ET from the 1/4

If you can find one used for 10 bucks pick it up. I wouldn't spend much more. It looks better with my air lid but the fit kinda sucks, kind of like slp long tubes.
