SLP cold air intake.
Has there been any studies on the SLP cold air intake? Is it worth $300.00

Re: SLP cold air intake.
I've got one I'll sell you after I get my stainless air box.

Re: SLP cold air intake.
As I recall, the total surface area of the three cone filters was a little more than the stock or even the flat K&N. Theoretically, that would be advantageous, I suppose. But, sorry...No data for comparison.

Re: SLP cold air intake.
Locobob did a comparison, looked like 1 to 3 hp gain with the claw if I remember correctly

Re: SLP cold air intake.
Here is the old post from the CF. Results for peak HP were within margin of error but notice the average HP and Torque numbers show a small gain.
Today myself and forum member/dyno owner TJ Wong set out to find the truth regarding C4 air intakes. We dyno tested 3 different air intakes on my Lingenfelter 368cid LT5. Tested today were: stock with paper element, stock with K&N element and a cut lid, and finally SLP's "claw" tri-cone filter design. All dyno pulls were made with starting coolant temps at 195 degrees F. Here are the results. Stock with paper, two identical pulls: 477rwhp. Avg. peak HP 477 Stock with K&N and cut lid, three pulls: 471, 475, 480rwhp. Avg. peak HP 475.3 SLP tri-cone "claw", three pulls: 477, 478, 481rwhp. Avg. peak HP 478.7 It would appear that the naysayers are mostly correct about C4 air intakes, not much to be gained here. Both Tom and I were rather suprised with the results. We had expected to see some small but visible gains with the cut-lid and SLP, instead we got a bunch of tests with peak numbers being basically the same or well within normal dyno pull to pull variation. The SLP unit does seem to have a small advantage over the others but suprisingly it's in mid range power not peak (see dyno graph average power #'s).

Re: SLP cold air intake.
Figures. The stock intake is already a cold air intake. Waste of $$$$ for SLP although it looks cool

Re: SLP cold air intake.
I have the SLP. Came on the car. I like it, but no flow numbers on it or comparison to anything else. I prefer conical filters to flat myself, but usually use them on blown applications.

Re: SLP cold air intake.
Mine had the claw on it when I bought it. I doubt I would pay $300 for it based on performance, but it does look cool.

Bob, It would be interesting to see if anything changes regarding the AFR with these.
