Default cold air intake

is that cold air intake from SLP's flopac any good?
are there noticeable gains or a total waste?

We had a customer gain 29 RWHP on a mustang dyno courtesy of SLP's flopac...consisting of a lid, bellow, and CAI. But as said, you can buy all of the off-brand parts cheaper elsewhere and get the same power.

I went with FTRA and I love it. Makes a big difference from a roll. I have heard mixed things about he Flopac. I almost went with it, but I decided at the last moment to go with FTRA. Seems to be more preferred than the SLP. Good luck with your decision.

thank you, i think i'll go with the FTRA. it looks like they also offer they're own air filter for about 30 bux, is this filter any good?
I guess i'll also need to buy the air lid separate.
anyone know where i can get a cheap smooth bellow?
