You can certainly combine them into one tube. However, the oem system is acutally very efficient & capable of support well over 460 cid up to 400 hp- especially with a filter change.
If you do an online search for “air filter test” there is a lot of very good information. IMHO, the CAI units are NOT WORTH THE $$! Unless you are talking about a system that was specifically designed for a specific application there are very little hp/tq gains actually achieved in a street use vehicle and there are very few docs that these mfg’s can produce that actually show an increase in hp/tq in the power-band range of a relatively stock street vehicle.
I would avoid oil impregnated filters. While they have their purpose in off-road applications, Ford/GM/Dodge all have “watch-out” bulletins where the oil has contaminated intake sensors. - they even have a training video for the tech's on this (flatratetech.com) .
If you look at the flow data, WIX HP filters flow 98+% of K&N and have a much smoother flow post filter plus excellent filtering, for a fraction of the price!
You can use a WIX OEM HP replacement filter in the OEM plastic manifold box or build an true air ram type intake into intake.

Wix use to make an "HP" version of the filters (used in NASCAR, etc) but I have not seen those specific listings for a while and over the past few years, the "standard" paper elements I use in my vehicles have literally the same design similarities as the HP series, bu the flow test were done on the standard filters and HP versions.
