When building something like an intake, or a port for a cylinder head, there is a sweet spot where you can maximize the velocity at a given volume of air by modulating the cross-sectional area. 5" may be more optimal at wide open throttle for an air intake. But, the trade-off is that the volume of air flowing changes, a lot, and the 5" intake gets the velocity so slow at low flow (fire hose on a garden hose spigot) that it's just dribbling through there. That's harder for the MAF to interpret with accuracy, and can lead to some definite tuning challenges. If you really want to get in the weeds, check out some design work around variable length and volume intake manifolds. There are a lot of ways this has been attempted, but the goal is to modulate those variables (volume, and length) to optimize, or tune the intake manifold for a broader variety of operating conditions. Length is another whole conversation, there are some amazing things that happen with resonance in an intake manifold that really helps it come alive at certain points - which is why a short runner intake like you're LOD wants to make max power in the 7500-8500rpm with it's super short runners, where-as a factory intake wants to make max power 1000-1500rpm lower!

Spending 3/4/500$ on a CAI is crazy. For my C6Z, I based it off of price. Spectre CAI FTW! I bought an intake tube on eBay, and just upgraded the filter for my Camaro when I was putting in a cam etc.....100$ total.
