what is the best? ssra is $195 SLP is $145 are thay both the same thing or is there a difference? thanks for in put, Cale H.

 

the SLP unit is just a cai....pulling air in before it goes over the radiator

the SSRA is a ram air scoop at higher speeds and a fully functioning cai at lower speeds. it pulls cooler air in when going slow, and it functions as a ram air at speed.

which sounds better

somebody on here tested the SSRA at the track, then pulled the scoop off, making it viturally identical to the SLP cai...and lost a solid .10 sec in the 1/4 mile.

 

Another vote for SSRA. Mine has been on for a year and a half and I love it.

 

Where did you guys order yours?
Any complaints?
How about when it rains?
Filter need cleaned often?
Any info would be greatly appreciated

 

Also what about install?

 

the link in my sig is a good place

install is identical to the free-ram-air mod plus about 10 minutes of extra work....simple

i live in south florida...land of hurricanes...and have had NO problem with rain.

in over a year i've cleaned my filter 2 times...neither were particularly bad..just a simple rinse with the hose like any normal K&N cleaning

 

install takes about an hour if you're blind and only have one arm.

Oh, and no problems here either... then again my car never sees rain, snow, very cold, or very hot days. So--- my filter rarely needs cleaning no matter where or how I'm driving. Can't tell you much as far as the rain goes. Is it worth the extra $$? That's for you to decide, I got a bargain price on mine though and I don't have anything bad to say about it.

 

LMPerformance and no complaints at all.


You will want to protect your car from hydrolock if you drive it during heavy rains or big puddles of water after a heavy rain. You can do one of three things:

1). Cut a piece of hard foam to fit the bottom insert and put it in whenever it rains. This is by far the fastest and easiest way.

2). Get a small piece of flat metal to use as a blockoff plate. This would be installed under your airbox between it and your first SSRA scoop. When it rains hard you put the plate in and when it's nice you remove it.

3). Remove the bottom scoop that attatches to the bumper. If you keep a screw driver handy you could always remove the 5 or so screws that attatch the second scoop to your front bumper. This is kind of a pain but it'll basically make your SSRA a CAI and keep it safe from water providing you don't drive through 2' of standing water.



It gets dirty a tad faster perhaps but I only go through maybe one extra paper filter per year.
