Clear lid comparision PICS: MTI vs FTP 100mm 
Its pretty hard to take measurements, but I have the biggest point at 105mm. That is just the half inch where the 100mm MAF fits though. Best as I can read it, it looks really really damn close to 100mm through and through. Put it this way, I have bigger hands than most people and I can make my fist fit. I think that says a lot right there.
Overall, I think that bulge gives it the extra millimeters. That and they flared out the end just a bit more so a 100mm maf would fit in the end. I think the mouth on the inside is a little wider aswell. Another VERY important note is the MTI clear lids crack because it is a ridgid plastic. These FTP lids are flexible like Rubbermaid containers.

Awesome comparison
I currently have the MTI clear lid and yes the cracking has begun
I have been looking to replace it and I came across the Fast Toys lid and kept thinking about it since, after your comparison there is no doubt in my mind where the replacement lid will be coming from.

FTP=file transfer protocol? 
Not that these parts apply to me or anything, but they look insanely inexpensive to produce. Make sure you're not running an aftermarket maf on a stock tune...

Your probably right on cost, but you gotta pay to play. They have something people want and can jack up the price. That damn MTI lid costs $129 and is crap. I'd rather pay the little bit more for a bigger, much better quality lid. I do agree that $180 for a lid is pretty expensive though.

Thanks man! Start to finish on what? I've been at it for 3 years now. The car *should* be painted end of this summer. After that is easy stuff, but more very expensive stuff. Things like the wheels, rear end, nitrous, suspension...ect.

My ftp 104 rubbed my ws6 hood, and cracked in multiple places. I love the clear lids I just bought and put a new slp lid back on. I wish the clear lids could be like the slp.
OP nice comparison pics. Can't believe I haven't came across this thread before since it's an older thread.

We are looking into producing another batch of clear lids so keep your eyes on the other thread in this forum. We will be posting a link to pre order shortly.
