They're about the same... only reason anyone gets one over the other is if they find a better deal on one, or they want a clear or carbon fiber lid... If you're just getting black... get the MTI. for that price, you can't lose.

Id get the MTI for the price, I bought a Direct Flo cause the fit is awesome. I had an older MTI lid (with the rubber hose) and it fit terrible, Im sure they are much improved now. )I hope <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )

Direct flo is/was the best, but I haven't seen a recently made MTI lid.
MTI clear lid is definitely cool looking; adding a Holley filter with it is a nice touch.
