I dont see why so many people bash SLP. They are practically one of the founding fathers of aftermarket parts for f-bodies. Too expensive! I dont know where you guys buy your SLP parts but they seem like damn good prices to me. You say buy the cheapest air lid.........well SLP is one of, and I think is the cheapest, and about a month or two back rated as #1 air lid in GM High Tech Performance. I dont see why you say he will net no gains were talking an air lid, k&n filter, bellow, and cold air ram. He will net from the lid alone! The rest will help the whole system flow, and with better cool air. We all know that an airlid setup is not a huge place to go looking for power in as the average modder will see 8-10 hp across the board. No disrespect to you veteran members but I think your being a little to hard on SLP. Considering that flow pack goes for about 270-280 bucks, probably cheaper if you find it on auction or something its damn well worth it to knock off that part of your build. You figure another big name brand here..............the $120 whisper lid, the common bellow at $45-50, the whisper or SSRA cold air at either 150 or 200 take your pick, and any high performance k&n, holley, fram air hog filter at 50.................WOW 365 for the cheapest out of those parts and the SLP comes in at the most cost efficient horsepower per dollar at 280 290 tops! I know many other guys run SLP stuff and I have not had a problem with any of the parts, nor have I seen other peoples air lids or cold air intakes have tremendous gains over mine or others. Just my opinion and various facts Thanks. Good Luck whatever you decide to do.

Go with the austin scoop.Go to austinperformance.com I think thats there link.They have the super sucker.I have the flow pac and did see gains from it.I all so have the SLP ram air HO hood with the baffels cut out so it's a direct ram air.With all the lid and hood and flowpac and the austin scoop changes you can really here my car sucking air big time. People think my car is sc from how much sucking noise it makes.Evry little bit helps.

Not everyone uses their car at the track or wants its to destroy everything on the road, what so bad about that. Why are they considered new or newbs or whatever the hell you computer geeks call them to the aftermarket just because they dont mod so far and like the ease of hassel free installs. JRP change your signature you use the fu...ing search button. Done with this thread. Thanks, and 2pac sucks!
at least come up with a valid argument, since your grasping at straws. if there called Street Legal Performance, how come half there **** says "for off road use only"

I didn't get the flopac but as far as pieces from the flopac i have their bellows....it is actually flexible unlike the Fernco/Baker hose garbage. Yea it was $40 bucks but I'm satisfied with it.
Ricers/Rednecks mod their cars at home depot.....there is nothing wrong with buying aftermarket parts that are good quality albeit expensive.
And as far as SLP they make some decent products...and some not so good ones as well.
My 2 cents.
