Default Anyone know what brand this lid is?

I have the lid that was on my Z when I bought it and am not sure what brand it is. It is a really dark gray and plain, no name brand or anything on there, the K&N sticker I put on there when I had the car before I got my SLP lid. Anyone know that brand it is and how much it is worth if I sell it? Btw, its missing the seal because I had to take it off to put on my SLP one, but other than that it is in great condition. Thanks guys.

Thanks man, how sure are you and any idea on a price that I could sell it for? I was told that most used lids go for around $50. I know what the SLP and Blackwings go for but not the other brands as much.

Maybe yours is a newer one and mine could be an older one? Idk this lid would have had to have been bought at least a couple years ago so idk. If anyone knows for sure that would be great.

If its a MTI lid that has been painted they have done one hell of a job because you can't tell that it is painted. Trying to figure out what kind it is so I can say when I try to sell it.

A basic lid is a basic lid, they are all worth about the same amount 50-60 bux.

I wouldn't worry to much about the brand name, unless its MTI or one of the really high end ones that you could sell it for more, which that one does not appear to be. Put it up for 70 shipped and unknown name, or hell just call it a whisper lid. I have one that looks just like it, paid 50$ and not a clue to the brand it is.

Looks like one of the original Whisper lids to me. I got one I bought from LS1 Speed back when they use to be called Quatermileperformance. Same Lid.
