Default RAI or CAI?

My gt already has a K&N Aircharger on the stock intake. Should i buy the CAI and put the aircharger on that, or get the RAI and throw my airchager in the garage?

Hot air is denser then cold air which means worse flow. Cold air is the way to go. Ram airs arent good at all.

you wont feel a difference. get whatever you think looks the best. a k&n filter on a stock intake will perform just as good as a aftermarket intake.

I don't think you'll notice or see much of a difference between rai and cai, but it would make me sleep better at night knowing that I'm not getting engine air, and I'm getting cooler fender air on the outside.
