Quick SLP Cold Air Intake Question

As of now I am using K&N air filters. If I got an SLP cold air intake kit would this kit replace the K&N's? Or could I use both thanks.

I dont think that would make sense because he doesnt have a ram air hood also the slp ram air is for birds, your lucky to have a camaro we have the best air intake setup go for the ram air from hawks.

The slp setup replaces everything from the tb to the box including a new k&n filter.

It won't flow much better than the stock intake setupwit K&Ns, just gut the boxes and that is more than enough airflow. Spend the 250 dollars on something else.

HAHA I think you already told me this before maybe I should listen this time...... I think your right K&N's usually work really well. The SLP maybe a waste of 250 dollars. Thanks for the responses I think I am just going to mod the air box.

I know this set up isnt as good as the ram air set up for camaro's, but i think it looks pretty cool for a bird and id rather have that set up than the stock air inlet mostly for the looks. May ask if u got a price on this set up?

Thanks,

Grab the cold air from inside the fenders or from behind the fog lights, just get cold air! I like my dual SLP cold air and I paid a fraction of the 250 by picking one up used.
There have been some pretty cool boxes that slide down behind the hood latch and into the space behind the fog lights I've seen. Remember, with the SLP dual cold air you have to move the battery, a royal pain in the butt.
I used to have a home made cold air that dropped to the driver side battery box area on my Camaro. The K&N hung under where the vacuum ball was for the cruise control.
Worked pretty well.
