SSRA vs. FTRA which one?

Are they worth the $$$? Is one better than the other? Which one do I put on Santa's list? Thanks in advance.

Re: SSRA vs. FTRA which one?

cant talk much about ftra, but having the ssra, i love it. is it worth $211 after shipping? well, with a little tinkering im sure you could make one yourself for a fraction of the cost, but i opted not to try. you wont see any real gains on a dyno, but you will notice it on the highway/ track. they say you will see .1-.2 gain at the track. i cant say for sure as i ran mine first time with ssra and gear change and picked up .9, so i dont know how much goes to each mod.

SSRA hands down.

if you remove the ram air scoop on the SSRA...you are left with basically the FTRA.

the FTRA is more of a cold air induction, while the SSRA is a cold air induction at slower speeds and becomes a full functioning ram air setup at higher speeds.

seems the choice is pretty simple.

and 2 1/2 yrs of heavy florida rain (including hurricanes) and i have yet to find any water in my intake or in the air box.
