Stock: 292 +/- 1
SL55: 317 +/- 1

+25 hp over stock

You tell me which one is better….
Good work Gang!

The stock intake "Chokes Off" 25 potential ponies from your car.... It reaffirms what I've been feeling about all the After Market Intakes -

It doesn't matter what intake for the SRT6 you decide to go with.
Any intake the eliminates the stock choke points is going to do the job, the engine pulls the air - the intake only restricts the airflow (filters, bends, opening sizes, etc..)

It just comes down to age old consumer marketing points; price, preferences and brand loyalty....
