Welcome....

I believe the flow pac you refer to is the air duct under the lid. I have the duct work under the lid on one car,,,,and the free ram air on the other car,,,,and they both work just as effectively. With that said, I'd suggest saving a little money and do the free ram air mod without the duct if that's what you want to do.

Either way, a lid is a cheap and effective mod that you'll see on nearly every 4th gen nowadays.

I'd definitely go with the lid or something equivalent to it. I have the SLP lid and cold air duct underneath it.

Free ram air mod is simply opening up a hole under the lid. Doesn't cost anything but your time.

Isn't there a sticky here somewhere guys that explain a step by step?? Or could someone please link the instructions here??

While on the subject of a lid, I installed an SLP last week, along with smooth bellows, and true to what I had heard it works great but the quality of fit is s###. I first took black duct tape and covered the open seams. Then I took the weather stripping you would use for a door, sticky on one side and foam on the other, and laid that over the tape. It now is perfectly sealed and the foam strip kinda reminds you of the old days Ram Air and hides the tape. You'll scratch your head a few times when you first see it. Pretty funny because the uninitiated think it's some kind of trick.

The trick to the SLP lid is that it must be positioned behind the lip of the lower air box in order to fit correctly.

I hear you Jeff. Even installing this way I had numerous open seams. Whether it would leak unfiltered air in or not, I felt it would't hurt to seal it up for peace of mind.

While we are on this topic... I just picked up a SLP lid/MAF and I have a 92mm TB going on my new motor. Will the SLP bellow fit the TB?
