Default Triple Air intake

I am interested about Mid Americas Triple Air Intake for my 95 C4.
Recently I installed Corsa Power Pulse exhaust system on my car and
was wondering if its worth the $249.00 for the cold air induction package.
If not what does the forum recommend? What can I expect to gain with this system.

Sounds like you're talking about the SLP Cold Air Intake.

If so, I have one on my 95. I can't say that I noticed any real performance increase but I like the way it looks.

The triple intake won't show any gains above an open lid since it pulls air from the same location. As stated, it is a cool dress-up part though.

It's a very good looking piece and if you are looking to dress up the engine compartment, it's a winner. I wouldn't expect any performance gains.

Oh and if you decide to buy, buy it directly from SLP, it's $10 cheaper and occasionally they have a sale. We need to show SLP that there is still a demand for C4 parts. They seem to think there isn't.

Thanks for the tip on buying from SLP. Just ordered mine.
Yes I agree it will really dress up the looks.
Ahhhh, Its going to be just like X-mas time all over waiting
for the UPS truck to arrive again. :cheers: :cheers:

Just to let you know, we sell them for the same price as SLP and we do not charge a handling charge, just shipping. They are also in stock and we ship the same day in most cases...
