Super Sucker Ram Air proves good. Gained 1.5mph (117.17 vs old 115.72) with the SSRA. Used the weather stripping to seal off the stock inlet. Good product.

Well, one day and I already ripped off the lower box with a parking curb.
Tossed it in my trunk and called it a day. I'll get around to bolting on (those tiny screws it comes with are a joke).

Just wonering if you pull your filter at the track or keep it in? If you leave it in, what filter are you running?

Used K&N I bought on Ebay (cleaned and oiled properly). It's in there all the time.
I shattered mine on a curb too. $250 down the drain. I gained nothing over my FTRA too. These things should definitely not be plastic - mine was falling apart at the seams long before I smashed it.

Gains you mean? Yeah, of course (forgot to mention that
). 
I run the SSRA extension with the upper piece of the FTRA. It's a sturdy piece constructed of welded alunimum. No problems on my 1.5" lowered car as long as I'm careful (especially on my driveway). Here's a link.

Bone SS: Not sure, but I'll be finding out. Using the Austin Perf. Scoop extension on my FTRA setup w/345 hp Blackwing lid setup and a VaraRam foam competition filter--(when the filter shows up.) I'm hoping for .05 and 1/2-1 mph over the FTRA unit w/my stock paper filter. Anyone else using the VaraRam foam competition filter on their F body? WJ.

I've never hit anything on my SSRA and my car is lowered. I guess I'm just very careful. I've had it off a few times and the seams look great. No seperation on mine. I think that was a problem on the old ones that were just glued together.

I just got mine today and the installation was quick and easy until I had to install the lower portion, it was a bitch to screw in those little screws, the instructions didn't mention use of a drill so i decided not to use it. I tried for about 10 minutes(10 minutes too long) then I grabbed my drill and took care of business. I didn't go out for a decent road test due to rain, but I am confident I will be satisfied.
