Default Air-intakes... what do you all recommend?

Hey guy I drive a 99 T/A and want to know what you all recommend for air intakes according to you all's experiences. I've seen the slp flow pack, K&N, and the Volant. which is the best investment and if there are others you all have used let me know. thank.

I had a SLP lid, and smooth bellow for at least 5yrs so far without any issues, except when I ran a SLP 85MAFS for about 1yr.. The SLP bellow is pricey but fits really good. IMO, currently the best air filter to date is a AMSoil reuseable/cleanable dry airfilter. Furthermore just do the FRA mod, it's worked good for me for over 10yrs.

Here's what's worked good for me over the years:
1. SLP lid
2. SLP bellow
3. AMSoil airfilter
4. FRA mod

Just a any lid with a K&N filter, the filter doesnt give u any hp, but get it so you dont go through 10+ fram filters. A ported n polished TB helps aswell. And the LS6 intake if you're willing to do it.

I like my MTI lid. I guess that shows how long I had mine for.
