IMO, 75% of the gains in the intake will be from the filter because the intake/resonator is not restrictive. Thus the K&N gets me most of the way there. However, depending on where the Icebox or CAI will be getting it's air, that could make a difference. I'm looking forward to seeing Comptech dynos for the icebox because I'm not expecting big gains - but I might be wrong.

In the process, you go through five 90 degree bends and one 180. Each bend slows down the air velocity and/or increases backpressure.
ALSO, with a CAI/no resontaor sitting just behind the driver's side chin air vent, you start getting ram-air-like effects the faster you go. Either way you do get a high pressure zone right before the CAI filter.
You're not going to get massive gains from a CAI, but I would believe the posted dynos are within reason.
