Best cai? My TA will soon be my DD. I have a CHERRY 95z waiting for me in chi-town, which will be the new G.Q. I will be looking for a nice cai in the very near future. Im looking for the highest quality and clean looks. So what should I be looking at?

Car may get H/C/I in the future. But not for a long while. I have been promised this car is showroom condition and factory to the original tires, pads air filter etc. 11,200 miles. Im not looking to do anything major....For a while 
The K&N is the best FIPK you can get as far as CAI will go however the best breathing will be the straightest path you will not beat the LS1 LID or the Lt1 Ws6 box...
I aswell as Merv,Roadtrip etc. have picked up in the 1/4 my exact # was 1.8mph and 2 tenths gain over the moroso cai..
There will be skeptical people to contaminate your thread by asking for dyno #s to justify the LID but those are the ones that do not realize you really cannot get dyno numbers for a mod that requires more air than a fan being placed in front of the radiator can produce........
My test was done at the same track same day roughly 10 min apart along with 3 runs w/pos moroso and 3 runs w/SLP lid

since your car has such low miles, i wouldnt want to put the lid on it since you might have to do a little cutting although they do produce the best airflow. but my choice would be the slp twin filter one. i have one on my 97 and my dad has it on his 96. he is running 11.08's with a 383/t56 with the slp. so it should be plenty for a stock ltx IMO. but i am putting the lid and ftra on my TA
Iv got the k&n fipk. The moroso and k&n are pretty much the same thing, but the k&n looks alot nicer and you get a better filter. I would get the fipk or the slp dual cone intake. I just like the k&n because it very sturdy, and mounts well.
if you get the slp cai it comes coated with black paint. if you know someone who can strip the paint off of it there is stainless under that paint so you can polish it and it looks great
