flow testing stock air lid Has anyone flow tested a stock air lid versus an aftermarket lid? The opening on the lid is oval shaped. Something like the stock y-pipe. But it looks like the surface area of the opening on the stock lid might not be that bad. The hump at the bottom of the opening probably causes a shyt load of turbulance. The fins on the under side of the lid all point to the opening which could be a good thing. I guess what i'm getting at is that i want to make my car appear to be as stock as possible. I know most of you will just say " just replace the lid and be done with it". Well thats fine but I trying to go for total stealth. Has anyone modified their stock lid to have high flow but look totally stock on the outside?

Re: flow testing stock air lid Even the die hard John Campbell replaced his stock lid with MTI one... even if it was free <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
