stock air cleaner

i have read through this thread and i have a question. what makes the aftermarket cold air intake better than the stock one? i have a 96 tahoe that when i bought it new i ordered it with the extra large air cleaner. it uses a pretty big canister shaped filter, it is closed to the engine compartment and it sucks cold air from fender well area. the opening is probably about 4". it seems like it would be just as good if not better than some of the cai kits i have seen.

Mainly cuz a good CAI reduces the ridges,bends,baffles,and restrictive caps that are on alot of stock air systems.

Pretty much all aftermarket CAI systems are Dyno tested against the stock system to see if their are any gains and or benefits over the stock system.Once said company has noticed significant gains,it will then put the product into production and onto public market.
