Which cold air intake for LS1?? Originally I was thinking about getting the slp cold air intake but have heard mixed reviews. My dad has a 2000 SS with slp's cold air intake but says he has problems in the rain 
. So Ive been looking for alternatives and found the Austin Performance SSRA Intake. Its made of ABS plastic, not metal, and doesnt heat up like slp's does (supposedly) and is said to deliver 13 rwhp. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this intake or any others out there. Please hit me up with opinions and suggestions. Thanks

i have the ssra, cant give you any horse power gains or anything like that but it did pull harder after i put it on.
i have drove in some pouring rain i shouldnt have, and didnt have any problems with sucking in water. as long as you stay away from puddles you should be alright.
i would recommend this to anyone.

FTRA, it's SS and doesn't hang down low like the SSRA. I sealed mine up and my mileage improved somewhat and the engine runs smoother at high speed cruising. I could not get track results but supposedly it's good for .2.
i have the VOLANT Cold Air intake..i LOVE it...i have NEVER had problems with water, or anything else for that matter have not dynoed yet, im sure it freed up a few Horses, but as an appearance mod its sweet and sounds awesome at WOT
Thats my $0.02

I have the SLP Lid and Cold Air Intake and I love it. It looks sweet, was relatively easy to install, and I have never had any problems with it in rain or anything else. It's a good system, frees up a few poneys, and to me SLP is pretty reliable if something isn't right.
There ya go.

I'm running a SLP lid and Austins SSRA on my non-ramair camaro. I'm pretty happy with the setup and don't plan on making any changes. Overall, I'd say that the Austin is probably a better bet when it comes down to the decision between it and the competing CAI manufacturers.

Alright, thanks for all the feedback guys. I figured that the different CAI's probably wouldnt differ much but I needed to see who was pleased with what. All feedback appreciated, thanks again.
