I am just wondering what the main difference is between the two. Which one does every1 prefer? Any pros/cons between the two? And is it a worthwhile mod or kind of a waste? Lots o questions here lol

Pretty obvious that you didn't search it yet. Read down a few posts:

This topic has been beat to death like a wife that won't do the dishes. I did lots of reading and research before I bought my FTRA. I think the two are almost identical. I went with the FTRA because I didn't want to scrape going into my driveway.

Either one I think you will see about the same gains. I didn't have any seat of the pants increase but I can say the engine seemed to run smoother. Just my .02

I noticed a big diffrence in the 1/4 with the ssra, cam only engine mod.

I noticed a difference when i put one on with a ported TB. my car isn't a ws6 and with ported TB, FTRA, cutout, lid and filter i put down 320rwhp. pretty good numbers i thought for very minimal bolt-ons.

i went with the FTRA for clearance...its a decent stand alone mod but it really helps wake up other mods even more

FTRA here, the SSRA is plastic....come on, plastic!

and your point is? plastic is superior to metal in terms of weight and non heat soaking. your air lid is plastic too, would you rather have a metal one?

Well yes I would if it was on the bottom of my car and scrapped going over large bumps...my friend had a SSRA that got smashed to bits going over a speed bump, but anyways they are about the same thing anyway. To the OP, just get one that you can find a good deal on in the for sale sections.
