Default Best CAI?

Is there really a "best" CAI, one that adds like over 10hp then another? Or are they all pretty much within a few ponies of each other?

Any CAIs not to buy?

Anyone ever hear of G2 CAI, Claims 71% more airflow. Kind of doubtful. They dont even have a website.

They all do the same for the most part.

Pick one.

None are really better than the others, they all bring air into the engine. I made a Custom Cold Air Induction. With what I did, it's not that it just gets cold air, but all the air is brought in from outside the engine compartment. It works very well.

Everyone always suggests the SLP but that is one of the few I would not get, due to it being metal. I would much rahter have the moroso or K&N because they are like a plastic material and we all no plastic is the best for not soaking up heat.

its also the best for creating turbulence in comparison to metal. heat soak hasnt been a problem at all since i got my car tuned to run colder and did the t.b. bypass.

I just bought a used moroso as well, I've heard good things about that one, but any of them will give roughly the same power.
