Drop in air filterVS CAI, Is there is big performance diff.? Options

[hs2g]

I'm deciding between going CAI or just drop in a K&N air filter. I'm looking for performance doesn't need the sound or look. Is there really a big perforamnce difference between the two? If I go CAI then I'm just going to get one from 95celGT, but if the K&N can give me almost the same performance then i'll just drop in the air filter.

i also have the CAI from 95celgt. My car defiantly performs better with it. i noticed better pick up. and it sounds awesome. as anubis said it goes down into the left front fender for a nice blast of cold air. heres some pics of it from 95celgt.

instillation was kinda difficult because of the fuses. as you can see he did something crazy with his fuses. which wasnt possible for me to do. PM me if you want more information.

also i have one question that i hope someone can answer for me. 95celgt used 3" piping for our cai's. i was told that this was too big and it would perform better if the piping was smaller. is this true? cause the throttle body where it conects is smaller then 3" thas for sure. how would it sound different? can some one shed some light on this for me?
