Money wise the SLP lid, seriously there cant be but 2whp difference at most. Why pay an additional 179 bucks for it?

Well Volant Intake is made for Regualr T/A hood it don't seal on Ram air hood.
You have to modify the seal on top. So it can seal on Ram Air Hoods. Someone has link of new seal on it for ram air hood.

Putting Tire Shine on your tires is harder than that.

BTW, you might want to use the search feature. There's a bunch of threads just like this... some have pics too.
