The moroso web site http://www.moroso.com/catalog/catego...?CatCode=34001 says the intake was developed by Callaway. http://www.callawaycars.com/Camaro/camarohonker.htm

I guess the K&N and the Morosso are a little different then. It looks like on the K&N the seal plate is plastic and it is molded on to the air tube, where as the Morosso is a seperate metal plate. Here is a picture of mine:

Correct.... Callaway developed it and sold it for their typical high $$$ prices... I bought one in 1995, right after they dropped the price a bit. It included a K&N conical filter. The Moroso is a direct copy of the Callaway. The K&N FIPK looks very similar, but it is not the same unit as the Callaway/Moroso.
I found, using a Vericom 2000 performance computer, that the combination of the Callaway and a Borla catback were good for 3/10's in the 1/4-mile. That calculates out to about a 20flywheelHP gain for the two items together.Fred

So "jpugs" did we answer your question? It looks like there are a few good options for you (and me). I think I'm leaning now to the Moroso/ Callaway one now not for any reason other than it has 1 big filter verses 2 smaller one. Maintanance thing I think.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

Thanks to everybody who gave input to this thread. I decided on the Moroso. I went and picked it up from Year One this afternoon. I can't wait to get it on.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

I was wondering, do you have to get underneath the car to install the SLP or the Moroso?
I have a K&N and had a bear of a time installing it (I don't have jack stands), so much that I took it to some local chuckleheads who did such a crap job installing that the filter popped off!
I ended up yanking the whole thing and putting the stock piping back in.
It's killin' me, since my car's all choked up during WOT or high speeds.
I'm looking for something that's easy to put it, doesn't require me to screw something in *blind* and it wouldn't hurt if it looked great.
I'm leaning towards the SLP, because it looks like I can cram those two little filters down from the top of the car, instead of getting underneath the car. But I'd like to hear from someone who has one before I go and waste money.

Yes to the Moroso. It was a definate PITA. The instructions were not very clear in where to drill the holes either. I pushed it as far as I could to the fender and I ended up having to cut about a half inch off the end near the MAF sensor. I couldn't get the hood to close all the way either. I also had to melt the tube to put a dent in it to clear a bleader valve on the ABS system just to get the hood to close. Taking the thing off and putting it back on isn't easy either. I'm not pleased with the design.
If I had to do it again, I would get the SLP but I don't know if you have to go under the car with it either. I think Joe can answer that question.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

Interessting thread. I've been contemplating between the K&N and the SLP since I bought my T/A a little over 2 months ago.
After reading all this, I think I made up my mind and go with the SLP.
It is stainless steel, it mounts from the top and it's currently on sale at SLP.97 Trans Am A4 more or less stock (Mods: WS6 Ram Air with Fernco & K&N, 12 disc CD changer, power antenna, SLP Fan Switch, LS1 Aluminum DS, Borla Cat back, McCord power plate, Spohn tower brace, Sirius, HID fog lights)

Anyone know if you can put the SLP CAI on a 93 LT1 (no stock MAF) along with the Vortech intake elbow without any problems? Thanks.Steve
