I have a 2001 ss camaro, and was wondering whats better to get, just the slp lid or get the whole slp cold air package. what are people's thoughts on the differences? is it worth to get the package or no? thanks.

Some say the smooth bellow is crap, a waste of money, and that it does nothing for power. Some fab one up or stay with stock. Its not a bad buy as a package. It makes the induction look cleaner, and smoother imo. And any time you can smooth the air flow instead of sticking with the accordion stock piece the better. I mean hey, thats why your getting the lid, am i right. Whether its worth the money, Thats up to personal preference.

 

Just get a lid and cut out the bottom . Save your $$$ and you could go to home depot and go to plumbing and ask for a 3X3 ferco coupling it is the same as a bellows and cost $6

 

i have a lid and slp CAI. that should be good enough for a stockish car.

 

I found the SLP CA raised my IAT readings after installing
it. I recommend just the lid, and a used one is just as good
as a new one if it ain't busted.

The first lesson to learn is skepticism of marketing claims;
the second is how to search smartly. Doing so will net
you these very same answers, minus the wait.

 

i'v got the kit and seems to work very well notice a difference over stock right away just get the lid and cut the bottom do the free mods if your looking to save some money and gain some power

 

as far as the bellows are concerned i would take this guys advice and save some $$$$$$$

 

Everytime I see your signature picture it reminds me of Steven Seagal

 

Maan he has had that same sig since I started coming on this site back in 05 and then finally signed up in 06.
But he leaves good honest posts for people in their thread that are usually very informational so we don't mind...

To the OP: get a lid and a FTRA (Fast Toys Ram Air system) for the car. Those work very well combined with a good, clean air filter.

Its funny how SLP charges asinine prices for stuff and yet their lid is the cheapest one on the market to buy...

 

Well ill def. just go with the lid then it sounds like, so I can save the rest of my money to go towards my college bill

 

thats no fun.

 

100 dollar lid is all you need

 

the fernco deal is a nightmare, i had to get the 3x4 for some reason, my tb had a larger opening, now that i got the fernco on there the clips on the front of my lid wont stay shut and my lid keeps coming open, im going to get the slp bellow and hope that it fits better and accomodates my nozzle a little better, my nozzle keeps spinning and pointing at the bottom of the coupler instead of pointing at my tb opening. If i were you id just get the lid not only will you get a little power it makes your car sound meaner.

 

I'll sell my old one for $50+ shipping

 

Take your original one, get a grinder and just grind smooth the underside of the lid. Its really not much different than that. I found no additional power between the two.

 

OP I was in the same boat as you when I was looking for lid and cai, finally decided to do chrs1313 ram air, ftp 98mm lid and z0F maf, and couldn't be happier, total I spent around $450
