Don't waste your money on "flowpacs" and expensive reusable intake bs. Just get yourself a 50 dollar lid and call it a day. Use the $150 you saved for something worthwhile like saving for future mods, bills, gas, or beer.

Not worth it if you ask me, but if you already have one then cool. You will also not gain any power by using one, which is why a majority of people purchase them to begin with.
In my experience using them, I haven't had a single problem. The people that do, are over oiling them, that's not the filters fault. If maintained properly, the filtering is sufficient enough. My intake tract is always free of dust and debris.

i will 2nd what everyone else said.. buy a LID ... any lid. slp, whisper, MTI, there all the same. keep your paper filter from the factory, if you wanna go futher get the SSRA or FTRA (super sucker ram air, Fast toys ram air) they pull cool air up from below the car, and work great with a lid.
