Ram air setup

I am thinking of switching out my fipk for a lid setup. What is the most effective form of ram air without removing the ac, altering the bumper support, removing AIR system or any of the stuff that would affect insurance/accidents or smog?

Would the ssra be my best bet? Will i see worth while gains from this over the fipk?

Thanks guys.

Sounds like FTRA is right up your alley. Some here have made their own home versions of the ftra and supposedly gained 2 tenths in the 1320.

Get rid of that FIPK crap! I ran one for years, then swapped back to an SLP lid and dear god did I feel the difference!

Changed from the FIPK to the FTRA and 85mm Lid setup...decreased my IAT's dramatically and gave me better throttle response as well. The car loves it!! very easy to do and well worth the $$.

Should be pretty easy, I sold mine in about 2 hours after posting in the classifieds here on Tech.....selling price may be the issue if anything.
