intake question

If anyone knows, I was wondering which stock tpi intake has better air flow, the dual snorkel or the single intake. I have both setups and would like to know before I do my filter upgrade.

Well, i would assume the dual one, since more airflow the better.

what kind of car are do you have? if the car you have would accept the dual air cleaner assembly, it would allow more air to be in the intake at one time.

I have a 92RS with 3.1, came with the single, picked up the dual at junk yard, it pretty much drops right in.
thanks for the input guys.

if you can just drop it right in, go with the dual intake, the size of it wont really matter, but having 2 seperate air cleaners will make it flow alot better

the single snorkle is hardly enough to supply air up to 5000 on a 4 banger, the dual snorkle is muuuuuch better. Why wouldnt it be? Heheh
