whisper air lid questions

[ramair6]

hey guys i am think about ordering a whisper air lid from thunder racing and have a few questions. is this really worth the money and do i get at least some kind of considerable gain? i guess i am juts tryin to weigh the pros and cons of it. thanks

I'm planning on making it my first mod as well. From what people have told me and from what I hear, it's the best "bang-for-you-buck" mod. It's relativley cheap and does give a decent performance gain from what you're paying.

I'm gonna get a Whisper Lid (along with Holley or K&N filter) and then the SLP CAI to complement it. Should be a good amount of performance gain.

Lots of people here seem to have this setup - fill us in!

I bought a Whisper Lid from Thunder Racing and have been very pleased.

If you are really poor, you can make your own (like I did while I was saving for the Whisper Lid):

Just be sure to check on parts if you get this lid, especially the smooth intake bellows. Some of the smooth intake bellow kits won't work with the whisper lid.

As far as I know there are not any v6 specific smooth bellows kits. Please be sure before suggesting things.

I haven't noticed any difference in my home-made whisper lid vs the REAL whisper lid....so i guess it all boils down to if you want the "name" on it or not.

I'm not convinced it did much for power. It sure looks like it would help the intake flow, though.

For SOTP feel I think the biggest change for me was the 87 octane tune on the Hypertech HPP3.

You can't compare a SOTP difference between an intake and advanced timing and leaner a/f. I was happy with my lid when I got it loved the sound of the intake and it changed the sound of my car overall at the time (flowmaster 80).

Look get the rk sport air lid not the slp. The rk sport is more complete. [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img] :eek: [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

I just got a whisper air lid and it makes a decent difference....i noticed a little difference off the line but mostly when you get up to highway speeds and you need more pickup....its very good for 100 bucks
