Seems to make sense. I still just don't like the idea of the stock filter for some reason and not like I can use them since I don't have a lid/box.

I put a spectra cold air on mine truck pulls threw the Rpms harder than the stock. I swaped over to the k&n n it felt like it was starving for air n comparison. Can't really feel any of it n the but dyno but if u listen to ur motor I can tell it loves the spectra

If I doesn't make a difference the why does is it recommended to have cold air and exhaust b4 a tune. U can't let air in n not let it out, has to go someplace. Wat I'm sayin is it works to gether. Multi part up grade, can't expect to get more out of free flowing exhaust if ur not able to get air in to flow it

I thought it was funny. That cheap little DIY Spectra crap is the least I would recommend. ESPECIALLY for LS1s.

Its a combination of what you said and how you typed it. Im no grammar ****, but my god your posts give me a headache. Reread them and make them understandable before you post.

Yup paper gives just slightly better pressure drop...
