Does it work well? lol. Any ideas about it? Looks interesting to me. I'm used to seeing a 'lid'

Kinda reminds me of not too long ago when I riced up cars. Put a cone filter on the end of the intake tube, voila... 300hp car. heh.

Beat me to it.

However, I have never seen a K&N FIPK in that color configuration before. I always assume K&N products ducting is dark. Are these colors typical?

That's my engine bay. They are not typical colors. The 2 hoses I bought from www.bakerprecision.com They have them in blue, red, and black.

Question

How does it compare to the lid system?

That's an argument that has been going on for a while. All I can say is that I picked up 6hp over the 2002 OE lid which is comparable to any of the aftermarket lids.

I'm just gonna go with the SLP lid. I mean heck, it's SLP! AND $99!! I believe they claim 10rwhp with the lid and another 5rwhp with a K&N or similar filter.

Talking

Like I have been saying in all of the lid posts here.. SLP lids may or maynot be manufactured well.

There used to be a post by a person who bought the SLP lid. The front corners looked like they were not sitting flush. After trying unsucessfully to get them seated right, he went to the actual SLP shop. There he was told that its common since they are subject to not all be created equally. Can you imagine if you buy the $99 lid and it looks funny... then seeing someone else with the same lid, and it looks perfect then calling SLP and them telling you that its the way it is and that they will not do anything to help you out.. SWEET DEAL! SIGN ME UP!

I too was heading for an SLP lid.. Until I looked on their forum, read that kernal of knowledge and am now looking at Whisper.. MTI should be kewl too but I feel the Whisper has a bit better price and many seem to be pleased as I have not heard any negatives assocciated with it.
