I have an SSRA along with an SLP lid. I'd guess that any of these type of ram air setups would net you similar gains, not unlike seeing similar gains from different lids. What brand you pick is personal choice I guess.

I have the ssra also. I cut down the ram air part under the bumer due to it scrapes parking curbs etc. No problems in 2 years.

I think GMHTP showed a gain of a 1/10 in the 1/4 with it. It works.

Using an SSRA, it's not very good for a lowered car, but it works great!

This is correct but its only when the car isnt moving or isnt moving for very long. This summer I will be reprograming my fans to come on sooner. Oh and BTW sometimes having the ac on helps because the fan comes on at 185f when ac is on. If your looking for a CAI kit that wont effect the eficiency of the rad/cond good luck cause your not gonna get to much better seeing how this is plastic.

I'm gonna make one of these soon. I'm pretty good with fab work, have almost unlimited access to sheet metal, my cousin is a sheet metal worker, and .........Well, I've got a lot of access and ability to make one. Should be somewhat simple. Just gotta lay out the cardboard template.
