K&n intake differences

What is the difference between the K&N 71-3092 and 63-3092?
Just that one uses a metal tube and the other a poly?
Is there a reason I'd want metal over poly? Or moshimoto over k&n?
I'm mainly looking for the sound, hp is just a fringe benefit.

I wouldn't buy either. There are much better options available.

I've heard the k&n and moshimoto, especially the moshimoto, are the loudest.

I'm new to the LT-1 engine. Been away from muscle cars for twenty plus years.

The NOISE you speak of with an aftermarket CAI system...Similar to the old time sound of a 4 bbl kicking in?

I've never driven a carb car so I cannot compare the two.

LOL! I know I'm from the Jurrasic era...but have pity on an old guy!

Similar to going to the range and shooting one of my revolvers. I have young shooters come over and they have NEVER shot a revolver before. Different times than when I grew up.

Perusing these threads trying to get educated.

I can't speak for the K&N system, but the Roto-fab CAI considered by many to be the best system available for the 2016+ Camaro. If you are interested in looking into a brand other than K&N, I would be glad to inform you on what we have to offer.

There is alot to learn about the new Camaro, enjoy!

Yes I can, but it was only a typo. I was not criticizing him, only commenting that I didn't understand what he was saying at first.

Roto-fab is about 60% more than the k&n. I don't mind paying extra for the Roto-fab if it is a superior product but the only thing I'm hearing is k&n is "unproven", which to me simply means people here and vendors have not tested it.

"You get what you pay for" has never been more true when its applied to modifying cars. I would personally keep my stock intake rather than buy the K&N intake.

There are only two aftermarket solutions I would even consider based on performance and looks. I won't comment on either but if you do your research you will find a lot of info on them on the forum here.
