Default SLP Claw -- worth it?

So, who has the SLP claw? Is it worth the money rather than a stock cut lid unit? Power gains? Any info will be appreciated. Any pics?

Thanks,
-Rick

I have one, as for the rest of your questions.... Meh. It was on the car when I bought it so I don't really have anything to compare it to. Looks nice... :D

It shouldnt give any more than a K&N and cut lid. The surface area of the 3 filters is equal to the SA of the stock filter.

It just looks good and sounds good.

I noticed a .05 s gain in the 1/4 mi with the claw as opposed to the K/N with closed lid(stock).

I'd say the looks alone are worth it.

:iagree: That's the only package that seems to be any different overall for the money.
