SLP lid vs customizing stock lid. UPDATE and quick question
SLP lid vs customizing stock lid. UPDATE and quick question So I already did the installuniversity FRA mod. So next on my list is a SLP lid. Then I read something where you could cut out the baffles or whatever it is inside the stock lid. Also, if I did this is there anyway to get rid of the air silencer box? Trying to save some money, but I feel like I am just being a cheap a$$. Is this worth doing or should I just buy the lid?
Second, where is the cheapest place to buy a SLP lid. I see that ws6store has them for like $90. Be great to find a place with USPS shipping instead of UPS/FedEX, since its usually cheaper.
If ya haven't noticed I am on a budget from hell.

that sucks
[QUOTE=hitmanws6;13617269]go on ebay, search for LS1 lid. You should find an LS1 motorsports lid or similar for around 40-60. A lid is a lid when you are on a budget. Dont pick and choose.[/QUOT
This is true. If I am using a paper filter is there a particular one to stay away from. I read where the SLP lids don't fit very well with KN filter, but I will never use one so that doesn't matter.
Another question; if I buy a lid for a 2000-2002 can I just block off the air hose hole thats in the lid? Or whatever the extra hole is for?

I remember along time ago (est 2002-2003) I took my stock lid off and broke the fins out and then sanded it smooth. I took it to the track and ran the same times as I did with my slp lid. The aftermarket lids look better because they dont have the silencer box.
Yeah I really hate the way the silencer box looks. I will probably just ditch the fins and sand it down, cause I am strapped for T/A parts cash right now.
couldnt tell you, its not on the car yet. but the ones i have seen in person look really good. and with that hole a lot of people just buy a breather filter from kragen/autozone. they are like 8 bucks

i remeber in 2005 when when i was in that same boat. I was looking all over the place so i could save $10 on a lid. Now im thinkin how good a deal a set of TF 220cc heads are at vengance for $1650!!!! U wanna go fast it gets expensive quick, dont let the bug bite u too hard or u will live on the dollar menu like i used too!!
Well I pulled the fins out of the stock lid(airbox). Sanded it down and all that.
If somebody is on a budget and they do the FRA mod and break the fins out of their lid and smooth it down they will notice a difference. Or atleast I swear I did.

OK got all my tuning up done on my car. Got a little extra money and I get to buy a real lid.
I am looking for the cheapest place to buy a new lid. Anybody got a sale going on/free shipping, something to that nature?
Please give me a link as I am ready to purchase.
