Looking for a little help on the many Cold Air Intake systems out there. My Z is stock w/6 speed. The K&N seems to be the "standard" but do any of the cheaper "tube" systems work as well?

 

Most of them all perform the same. You can find a used K&N or Moroso for pretty cheap on the forums.

 

Im thinking about going SLP over K&N on my 95 z

 

I went with the RK Sport SS Ram Air Hood on my 94 Z-28 works great and comes with k&n air filter and elbow to hook right up to you mass air sensor...now thats a little bit more expensive then a cold air intake but works awesome and look even better

 

I bought an intake for a Honda Civic, 3 inch aluminum, Cut 3 inches off of the straight end, shoved the other end in into the factory plastic part that is on the corner of the radiator. Then installed a Spectre Cone filter in the fender just like a K&N Setup. According to Datamaster, I'm flowing as good as any of the expensive aftermarket setups and I have like 75 Dollars in it. I did this years ago though, part could be more now.
