read the stickies and make your own choice. There's a spreadsheet breaking down the differences between each air filter and whats more important is your personal perspective or choice. Over the radiator, in the box, cold air. Just remember C.A.I. is an actual brand also. Love Love Love both my C.A.I. and K&N, Just depends on the car
I drive a 2014 2SS RS with a CAI and a 2000 Dodge Durango 5.9L with a K&N
After reading the dyno results and testing myself where I live the K&N platform out performs the CAI on the dodge platform and the CAI kills the K&N on the chevy platform at this altitude. Is it gonna be huge no...but, Deer and Elk hate the sound of my car. I get 23 mpg minimum and I love the way it looks. Read on and expect lots of personal opinions. FYI I work in Durango Co, 6512 feet and commute to vallecito Lake at 7882 Feet.
