Default Question about LT1 SLP Air INTAKE KIT

Hi guys I wanted to ask if anyone out there is using the SLP Air intake Kit and or if you are using the K&N Air intake Kit. The question I have is which Air intake Kit flows better, the K&N is a single filter to grab air and the SLP is a dual air filter system which I think would grab more air.
The only thing that made the 2 filter system stand out to me is when people used to run twin dual carbs and they produced more air flow, so i figured with the twin air filters you would be grabbing more air?
What do you guys think?

its not about how many filters but rather than the total area of filter. that being said any name brand CAI will flow about the same. im personally running the SLP, however K&N is a good choice as well.

from what ive read, most of the CAI out there for us LT1 guys have about the same gains. the SLP one looks better but its also a little more expensive. thats just what ive read though so someone can correct me if im wrong.

i have the K&N. i like it no complaints here. i think the SLP intake is made of some type of metal which will probably retain more heat.

Yea, I am not worried about the more filters thing. I just figured it would grab more air but I dunno? Is the Slp CAI system metal?

I'm a fan of the LPE intake, it has the largest filter area of any of them.

The GMPP CAI and the SLP CAI are the same. GMPP was the chrome unit which they dont make anymore.
