I went with the SLP lid because I've got AIR, and I didn't want to go with the breather filter. I'm very happy with the fitment and appearance.

Default I have an SLP lid here too, no problems.

The lid is something SLP does well without too much debate. I chose it because I liked the way it matched the OEM plastic inside the engine bay. It looks very clean.... it works too.

Can't comment on the MTI lid, I'm sure its fine too.

I guess as long as that's the case, any one will work really, but for the 90 bucks shipped to my house I paid.. it was worth it to me.
What is the "LM", thanks.

I have had both, the SLP may be a little bit more but it fits perfect and looks really clean under the hood. Anyway its just a lid you dont have to do your whole car SLP. I would have to vote SLP in this case.

Very first thing on my car was the SLP lid. Immediately gained 4-5ths. It fit great, but I've since added a WS6 hood and it hits slightly. No biggie, really. I love MTI, but the SLP lid does work great. Now, those smooth bellows......
