The FTRA is built better, includes a block off plate, removable front seal, better mounting hardware, instructions and most importantly, directly routes air off the of lower air dam into a sealed air box. You will see better throttle response, fuel economy and performance.
is the FTRA steel like the SLP's or no?

I can't speak for the SSRA, but with the FTRA, you will find that your air filter does get dirtier faster. For that reason, we recommend a K&N washable air filter and checking the condition of it with each oil change.
We do include a block off plate with the FTRA if you want to disable the kit should you need to travel on dirt/gravel roads etc.

I have the FTRA and I just drive carefully through large puddles and heavy rain, just like I would if I didnt have it. It wasnt a real big gain like LTs or so, but I did notice better throttle response, a little better top end, and better MPG. It doesnt heatsoak like some people say, or at least I havent had any problems. The block off plate is a great feature and I usually change my paper filter every 5000 miles or less, doesnt get too dirty, but still its just like $6 bucks for a new filter.

That is why the WS6 has the taller lower air box.. you should see my stock lower air box on my Trans Am. can barely put 1 finger under it. I now have a WS6 hood being made and i bought the lower WS6 air box. I can fit my whole hand under it. So it does so something. ALLOWS MORE AIR
