I had one. 117 vs. 118mph on my cam only setup. About as good as a little tailwind.
It's a little on the voodoo side of things, but eh, what the heck, every little thing helps I guess.

It is a very worthwhile mod IMO. The HP gains won't show on a dyno, but it is worth at least a tenth in the 1/4 and a bit more in better air.
If you are going from no air induction modification to a SSRA, you will be very pleased.
I got one of the early versions that were made of brittle Polyethylene and not real durable, but it is currently in use (pieced together after many repairs) and is serving a good purpose. The metal version would be your best bet.
Good luck!!

I put it back on the car, until I ripped off the front portion again on a parking curb. After that, I used nuts and bolts and a ton of black masking tape. Worked like a charm.
Would I buy another? Maybe.

I had the free-mod before but it pulled too much dirt into the filter so i had to close it up, but when I had it it made a difference I could actually feel, so 10-15 HP sounds pretty reasonable to me.

If dirt in the air filter is a concern, skip the SSRA. If you want to squeeze every ounce of HP from your car (as most here do) then the SSRA is proven. The 10-15 rwhp is evident in track ETs, but not on a dyno. It is worth the $$$ IMHO.
