It's a little deeper sound but not by much.

Now all we need is for you to test one of these bad boys on a stock SS and see what it puts down. I'm thinking it will hang with the best.

Indeed. I would love to see the comparison.

Just an opinion, but thats a little pricey, i ordered the new era elbow for 89.95 and you can buy the k-n drop in filter for less than fifty if you shop ebay. So you could be in the 135-140 range pretty easily.

Did you get just the elbow or did you get all the hardware with it to? The SLP kit Contains:
One elbow (Air Tube)
One high flow oiled reusable filter
OEM throttle body seal/mount to air tube
One rubber coupler for air box/air tube
One air line to replace the stock one
Two clamps for rubber coupler.

And SLP usually has some kind of promotion going on 10% off /free shipping etc when your order is over $100 dollars.

Let's not forget about shipping.

And yes it pays to shop around; Summit has the SLP kit for $179 plus shipping.

Regardless if you order the kit from SLP, Summit, or any other dealer, it's a good price for what you get.

Yes, it comes with everything but a filter. Not putting down anyone or anything, i just find myself shopping for the best deal all the time, one thing that i wish was different with the new era is i think i would rather of had plastic instead of the polished aluminum they offer.

i like slp but i also went with new era.. price was the factor.

my only gripe about that is, it really doesnt alter the air intake box so how can they call it a CAI kit? it is basically a new elbow & filter to reduce turbulance for better air flow..I dont see how this can lower the intake air temp any lower than stock..

dont get me wrong, it is still a great mod and looks good, but it shouldnt be tagged as a CAI. That should be a intake elbow & filter kit..

But.........if you look at the shoot-out Janetty did, most of the so called CAI's temps were higher than stock....so what does that mean? I have been going back and forth on a CAI, but can't bring myself to spend $400 or $500 dollars for a few HP. This looks like a good alternative.

Actually some where lower than stock, and where you going to get 10-13 RWHP everyday for the life of the car for 4-5 hundred bucks.

High on the HP to dollars Ratio.

But, that is max hp at an RPM range that many will not hit on a daily basis. The averages were lower. I know to get real gains you have to do multiple mods, like what you have done with your kits. I just want to make the right choices. I had a 1979 camaro (back in 1979) and I have been down the road of one Mod after the other, some good, some a waste of time. Just being cautious. By the way, I really pay attention to your posts. Thanks for everything you have done.

Ted,

In your professional opinion what numbers would you expect from SLP’s kit?

I am not even going to try and guess but know this.

The little pods on the side of the original tube are Resonance Cancellation chambers.

Resonance can alter air flow in a negative way, I obviously don't have the equipment to measure it but I am very aware of the technology and how it works.

I have tested the factory air box with the stock filter, No filter, and with K&N filter and could not measure any HP difference on the dyno.

There may be some HP gains in the tube but Until I try one We won't really know for sure.

I've had mine on for about a month or so now, and one thing that was strange was it advertises a Blackwing filter, but it came with a K&N No big deal or difference I'm sure, was just an odd thing when I opened the box.

[IConnection]

I went this route, Honestly the stock air box is nice and when using the better filter and tube IMO its not a bad setup...It might not make the most power but it should be worth 5hp over a totally stock setup but with the look of oem...I really dont like any cai I have seen other than the Halltech...

Are there better kits out there, yep but at what price..
300, 400, 500????

I didnt buy this car to make it a race car like my 10 Sec All Motor 2000 WS6 so for me the SLP setup is just fine.....
