Default to anyone that knows about lids?

do you think its worth it to get rid of a stealth air box and go back to stock with a tsp lid or do you think the gains are close enough to just keep it? thanks

If the stealth setup isn't broken.. you've already spent the $$$. I'd leave it alone. Any gains wouldn't be worth more $$$.

From what I've heard the stealth setup isn't that great. It has the huge filter but the lid necks down smaller then a regular lid. If you could get a good bit out of the stealth and buy a regular lid I'd say you would be better off.

i've heard that regular lids which they are all almost the same are the way to go..

now the horsepower difference might not be worth it though.. unless you pick up an used lid somewhere....

im running a texas speed performance lid and the fast toys ram air with a k&n filter and i couldent be happier... throtal responce is a lot quicker it pulls harder through out. you will definetly notice the extra pull in the upper rpm's... i say ebay the stelth if you cant get the price for the new lid chock it up to experience.... eather that or see if a friend will lend you there lid for a bit so you can test it out.

Are you happy with the stealth? If so then keep it. If you're that curious...then ebay the stealth and go with a tsp lid, you can't go wrong with them. They're the best out there....add a ftra and a k&n filter and you're set. Its up to you man....your hard earned cash!
