It's hard to know without seeing them installed on the motor. I would see if the others (besides K&N) have a web site with pics of them installed so you can see exactly where the filters and shields end up in the motor compartment.

S&B doesn't seem much different than installing a K&N filter in the stock housing. Gets air from same hole.
Here is the other. http://www.streetandperformanceelect...inst/35925.pdf

tha point is:

the stock air intake gest fresh air from a duct between the mudguard and the fender: this air should be much more cold than that supposed to be fresh taken by all the CAI: those sistems get air from inside the hood!

is that a real performance improovement? Air under the hood is hotter!!!

This guy did one hell of a home brewed study on this subject:
https://dodgeforum.com/m_403189/mpag.../tm.htm#420167

If you keep on reading he started doing tests with a mock CAI. The last two posts are pretty funny
