I got a volant with a drop down ram air tube and I think it works great ...Keeps the heat out and cool outside air is scooped in from the tow hook. ~$400 is what I paid. Might be a good choice vs an open element k&n. Running stock heat exchanger. No idea about a pump bosch, meizer, .....

Check out ford dealer for the Lightning pump. It is the same as the Radix kits. As far as CAI GM high performance tested Volant against Vara-ram and the Vara ram outperformed the volant at the track. I really like mine.

I run it in Michigan with no problems. I will try to post a pic. I customized the grill area and that plastic piece that is missing in that picture for a much cleaner installed look.
