K&N FIPK vs. Air Lid I was looking to upgrade my stock air filter and/or air box assembly. I was wondering which you guys prefer? The K&N FIPK kit, or just an upper box lid with smooth bellow? Any info on power gains would help!!! Thanks Guys, James

i think the lid would probably be your best bet, but if you dont mind spending the 250 bones get the fipk. i would have probably bought one my self if i had the extra money...

I have a pretty new FIPK setup just layin around that came off my car when I bought it I changed mine back to the stock SLP lid since its an slp car just for looks. The FIPK performed really well and i had no troubles with it let me know if you are interested and i can get you some pics

I don't know about how the FIPK performs compared to a lid, but the FIPK looks outstanding in my opinion. It is expensive thought and cleaning the filter and putting that red oil **** on is a huge pain in the ***.

I never really noticed any throttle response difference between the two but I have only drove the car like twice since the SLP has been on (transmission is bein rebuilt 
and beefed up a little) but if anyone is interested I will take $100 for the FIPK plus shippin I just recharge it is in great shape email me for pics. xtremeracingz28@yahoo.com

Thanks for your help guys. Now another question, I don't have the larger lower intake box. I have the smaller one, but I do have a functional Ram Air hood. Would you think that the lid would be less effective, given the smaller opening?

That was always my problem with the FIPK...Without Ram Air isin't it just pulling hot engine air? I went with the lid and the SLP CAI.
