Lid Filter??? I Just Recieved My Slp Lid Ups And Was Just Wondering If The Stock Air Filter Or K&n Will Fit Or Do I Need A Bigger One. I Will Buy A Bigger One Up On The Way Home From Work Today If I Need To. I Already Have A K&n Replacement Air Filter In The Stock Lid Now. Thanks For Any Help.

Great, I Will Install As Soon As I Get Home. I Just Had Obx Headers Installed And The Guy At The Performace Shop Said I Should Install An Intake Kit. The Car Goes Back To Shop On Monday For 373 Rear End. Cant Wait 
keep the paper element.. you wont gain but 1hp with a K&N..
paper element = $11
K&N= $45
OBX headers hu? you sir i think are one of the first people to try these.. you should start a separate thread on this section about them.. there are a few people interested in them but no one has pictures of them installed or Dyno #'s.

aww man! come on now, i cant be the only one that gained 5,000 rwhp from puttin in a k&n filter!?!?!? u know its the best investment ever, i get like 300 miles to a gallon too
what air filter?
after removing mine at the track (new k&n to boot) i picked up 2 mph and naturally the ET dropped accordingly. i didn't even use an air filter for the last 5k or so i had the car.

I hope this is a joke 
no, i am not joking. i took it out at the track one night just to see...then forgot to put it back in. i didn't notice until i went to clean it, only to pop off the lid and be like WTF?
what can it hurt? the car had a speed density tune on it - it's not like i was driving around rock quarries and flat-tracking it in the back 40. it never left the pavement and rarely got driven...oil changed religiously. i don't see the big deal. hell i ran an old school sbc like 50k with no air filter before chucking a rod...the cylinder walls looked fine.

well with my ultra z hood and the slp cold-air induction, my filter gets plenty of dirt in it... all i know is i wouldnt run my car like that...
if u feel fine with it out then go for it..
