Default SLP smooth bellow

I was wondering is there any hp gain from installing one of these. Or is it just for looks. MY wife bought one when she bought my lid and filter for me and I install it all at once and noticed a lil difference. The reason i am posting i see some people on here say it is worth 6hp and some say none at all. For looks I think it looks better then the stock one. thanks for any input

Just for looks bro. Nothing else. The gains you felt were from the lid and new filter. Sale it and buy some beer and wings and throw the stock one back on there lol. Also, it won't hurt anything. So if you like it, just keep it on there. It does look better.

Hell yeah. You just cut the bottom out of the air lid box and a shitload more air gets shoved into the lid and the car. Do a search for free ram air mod and it will have pictures and everything. Your filter will get dirty alot faster but it's worth it for free.
