Quick question??? Hey I was just browsing the MTI webpage http://www.motorsporttech.com/fbody_air_intake01.asp and I found a link to the GMHTP article where they test all the air lids. They rate them, from 0 to 5 all on page 31, but it doesn't say which is which. Does the chart correspond to the one on page 30 or what? Does anyone have the magazine?

the SLP lid is definitely the best fitting and best made lid for the f-body. no lid cracks less and no lid fits better on average. SLP isn't a company i pimp very much for these cars. i don't like their catbacks because they're either too quiet or they don't use a muffler. i don't like their headers because they hang too low. the smooth bellows is a waste of money. blah blah blah...but their lid, well, that's clearly the best made/best fitting lid for the f-body. period. it's also one of the most affordable and IMO, the best looking.
i wouldn't buy any other one, but that's just me.

What's most interesting is the lids they tested all serve the same purpose. In fact the suncoast setup I had on my car might have been the truest to low restriction sort of lid on the market. I took a notes of it in another thread a while ago, though it has the lowest restriction of all the lids. I told my friend he should consider running that one on the car, but was out of budget because with that setup you also have to get the raptor hood which is beyond reach for the average enthusiast who runs a lid.
