I currently have the slp lid on my 2000 trans am. will there be much of a difference besides "looks" if I go with a Volant cold air kit, compared to the SLP lid?

I would just stick with the SLP type lid.
dont think you would notice any differance
Ive heard mixed reviews, save the money and stick with the lid
Myself, I went with Volant before i had bought a lid, but thats the route i chose, and by the numbers between the two, theoretically Volant should easily show almost 10hp more over a stock airbox and lid setup. As for fitment, kinda a toss up i guess, i have not had one problem with mine, it installed easily and sealed well to the underside of my hood but others seem to have hell...
+1 volant fit well with me as well. im kinda an slp hater without meanin to be, the companies made me be biased towards their products without realizin it, but i guess it's be a toss up in all fairness. its whichever you feel more comfortable with. personally, i think volants worth the dough, performs well and looks beast as hell.
I gained 5 rwhp on the dyno with the volant.
My volant fit great
he said I gained 5 rwhp on the dyno with the volant
so id say this is not gains with an SLP... :buttkick:
common logic will tell you a volant will be better than bout any lid, the question you gotta ask is how far are you going with your mods to make it worth the extra money...
I'll sell you my violant intake off my 2000ss for $225, its got maybe 500 miles on it. PM me if interested
If your gained 5 hp from you Volant, it was probably just the dino. Unless it was back to back runs, meaning you took the lid off, swapped for a Volant, and ran agian... a different dino on different day can and will read different. Not saying I swear by the SLP, just saying a dino is nothing more then a tuning tool.
Dyno*
Volant is the way to go....no fitment issues here and you can hear the the suction from the hood scoop with the hood closed. Had the Lid, shitty fitment and a pain to change the filter!
gents from stock lid to slp lid i gained 7rwhp. i then ditched the slp for the volant and gained 5 rwhp on the dyno.
