Right now I just have a Direct Flow lid, and I am wondering if there is something better out there....if you already have a lid, what would you replace it with? My basic mods are in my sig.

Hmm... SLP lid? Isn't that basically a Whisper lid?

Don't rush. I would just save my money and get what I really want all at once.

mine is a granatelli, fits very nice, but my car has alot of SLP parts on it so i would probably go with a SLP Lid next time

I would put all the companies that make lids in a hat and pick one and buy that...lol b/c a Lid is a lid is a lid.... but I would go with whatever was cheaper or on sale as long as it was a reputable company and not some E bay crap

Well...I was thinking something aside from a lid. My friend just bought a stock Z28 and she wants to put a lid on it, so I was thinking I could give her mine and get something "better"....but I am not sure if there is anything out there that will make a noticeable difference, especially considering my current mods.

My SLP lid rubs my hood, I might go with the TSP lid

I've had good luck out of all 3 lids I've had. Whisper, MTI, and Direct Flo.

Lid is a lid.. only difference is fit and finish. I doubt one will give more power than the next. If you really want to try something different pick up a the K&N setup that replaces the stock radiator support piece and uses a single large cone... only downfall with that K&N is its expensive as hell.

I had the Whisper Lid and it cracked. It was made of cheap plastic and bought it in 1999. I am currently using the Direct Flo and have had no issues with fit.

Pretty much the way I feel too. However, my MTI Power Induction logo is fading off. I'd probably go with a clear lid next time. I keep my engine bay pretty clean. I also like the look of the carbon fiber too.

I've had my Whisper lid for almost six years now. Good piece.

do you have a smooth bellows? i'm willing to bet you do. if you do, your bellows is making your lid rub. the SLP lid is the best lid out there in terms of fit and quality. true you may have just gotten a dud, but the bellows is usually responsible for this.

That SLP lid is garbage!

GMHTP has done tests, and not all lids are equal. It's not much of a difference in HP and TQ, but the fit is a huge difference.

If I could start all over again? I'd get the Volant CAI 1st this time around.

Stick with the direct flow. Nothing wrong with it. Volant is awesome too. The only visible differenct between the DF lid and the rest are in the back corners. The direct flow is more rounded. Not saying that it makes more power, it's just different. To do it again, I would do what I did. I hacked up a direct flow and used it to make a mold and copied it with real carbon fiber. Too much work, but one of a kind

and since the SLP fits the best....
