Default Induction

hi fellas,

well my 2001 ss i believe has a magnaflow catback on it.. though i'm not sure, (it does have magnaflow quad tips) it does sound nice between 2k ant 4.5k in car... anyway, i'm looking at getting one of the kits below... i do have alot of experience with K&N but not sure if it is really worth it, for this vehicle. below are some links, let me know what you think the best deal is and the quality and ease of installation. i am swaying towards the slp kit.... but need some advice. also i will be getting the hypertech 160* stat. just because.

I would do a lid and the fast toys ram air. But the Volant is pretty cool.

(Taken from a non-sponsor link that shall remain nameless)

Austin Performance is pleased to announce a new cold air induction system called the Super Sucker Ram Air. The SSRA kit was designed to pick up where the competition left off for 1998-2002 F-bodies. The major difference between the competition and the SSRA kit is that the Super Sucker Ram Air actually scoops in air. It is a two piece kit, with a lower piece sliding into the upper, which attaches under the nose. This scoop is about 2 inches tall and 15 inches wide. This becomes a continuous box(scoop) all the way up to the base of the air filter. Another major difference is the SSRA is made of black ABS plastic. This matches the OEM appearance of the car and looks great. Since the SSRA is plastic it won't heat soak like steel. This will help your car run cooler. Speaking of running hot. One of our competitors has a problem with their cold air induction kits making cars run hotter. If a car runs to hot it loses horsepower. To avoid this problem, beginning at the top near the air filter, the Super Sucker Ram Air angles away from the radiator, unlike the competition. This allows cool air to circulate through the radiator. For those of you who want to seal off your airbox to achieve a supercharging effect, the SSRA is designed to allow you to do this. Included all necessary materials for sealing and blocking off the SSRA. Best of all the SSRA makes power. A blower fan was placed in front of the nose of the car to simulate airstream. The airstream velocity was measured at 60mph with an anemometer at 10 feet away. On a Dynojet a stock 2002SS Camaro picked up approximately 13rwhp over stock. The SSRA is a quick, easy way to gain horsepower.

personally i barely noticed a difference in SOTP. and time slips didn't really change. next time i go to the track i'll do some runs with and without to see.

And it's not a "continuous scoop" there's a huge hole where a bracket sticks out.

Another Vote for lid $90 and SSRA $200/ also port and polished throttle body $65. Keep your paper filter, keep your accordian style bellow and your induction should be good to go!

Then you can get yourself some long tube headers and a mail order tune from Frost and you'll be lovin it! probably around 350-360whp or about 420hp at the motor.
