Default K&N FIPK or slp lid/filter?

is the FIPK any good? i have a k&n filter currently and am trying to decide whether to get a slp lid for it or a FIPK from k&n. Anyone?

i had a slp lid and it was well worth the money . though i ran into a deal for a volant a while back for about the same price as what i got the lid .
compared to the slp i prefer the voloant which is similar to the k&n though they do cost a bit more and unless you got hell of mods you might only pick up a few more ponies . though when i pop the hood i get way more props with the volant than the lid since it looks so cool .
hell you could make a custom intake that works good as well as looks good with a little bit of time .

My SLP fits perfect with their Smooth Bellow. I think the SLP lid looks the best above all, clean, black, and not guady.
