Default Best cold air intake?

Just purchased an 05 Sierra Denalli with the 6.0 345 hp engine. I've used airaid intakes on the last few vehicles, but wondering if there is a better one out there that utilizes outside cooler air, rather than that hot air under the hood?

dont lose sleep over it. they're all about the same. some populars are k&n, volant, air aid, and upd. i have upd. if you want to save lots of money you can make a home made brew...

do a search for home made intakes and youll get some good ideas to save money for more mods.

I've had K&N and Volant. I like the Volant better.

i'd go with the outlaw but if you want tried and true just pick up the K&N...I was not impressed with the volant on my SD but as I understand it they've redesigned it.
