I'm looking at getting a CAI for my 97' Z28 and am wondering if there are any discernible differences between the SLP and K&N setups (other than price). Thanks

 

if you have the ASR button in your car along with traction control, the K&N kit won't fit. I had to bend the metal brake lines to make mine fit. the K&N tube is plastic.

The SLP is metal but has a smaller diameter. I would believe that the K&N might offer better air flow.

I would go with the morosso CAI kit if you have traction control. it is similar to they K&N tube but you don't need to modify the brake lines.

I can send you pictures of my K&N modification if needed.

I have had all of them and I was able.to test at the track
#2 K&N
#3 SLP Lt1 cai
#4 Homemade 4" tube with cone k&n filter
#5 Moroso cai

#1 SLP Ls1 lid hands down... 75.00 and 45 minutes to fabricate and install.

 

I have a lightly used Moroso CAI for sale that was on my '97 Z for less than 5,000 miles, and fit perfectly with NO brake line modifications. PM me if you're interested in it.

 

Thanks for the help. Mine doesn't have the traction control so I think I'll go with the K&N.

 

I've ran LPE, SLP, K&N, Moroso, and the LS1 lid and the best stardard one is Lingenfelter, then Moroso. I hated the SLP, just a pain to remove and reinstall and get to the filters. Lingenfelter is $160, hard to beat, great performance, lightweight, priced well, great media quality, largest media area, etc. K&N is extra money for the name. Lid would be the best, but for many builds it's just not worth the work and investment.
