Stillen ZTube/Intake Kit vs. Stillen CAI?

New dude here and yeah I used the search quite a bit, but really couldn't find anything regarding this. So in looking at the various intakes on Stillen's website there is that Z-Tube with K&N filter and air box kit, but also their CAI kit. That being said, what is really the difference between the two things? Are they mutually exclusive or can you do a Z-Tube, CAI, and that airbox? Last question: individually does one setup allow for better HP/torque than the other or would any gains really be negligible and more of a placebo effect? Much thanks.

Stillen only has the cold air box. If you want you can also get the z-tube.

Ah my bad - saw it on the stillen site but apparently it's AEM. But ok regardless, how does any given CAI differ from that stillen high flow intake kit, or would both be one in the same?

Every intake will do nothing for you as far as performance goes.. they're simple noise makers and a reuseable filter..

However based off of design the Stillen Intake would be one of the few that would NOT create a power loss..

But not a single intake will create a GAIN compaired to stock from our experience when we dynoed Injen, AEM/NISMO, POPCharger, Z-Tube, Stillen, SpeedForce at a dyno day back in 05

PopCharger and Injen Sounds the best IMO =P
