Closed Element vs. Open Element
i have about 250.00 to spend on a new CAI. I used to have the old style Volant CAI airbox w/out ram air. I have read good things about the Outlaw CAI, and the K&N 77 series. Possibly a new Volant also. What do you guys think?

I just installed an AEM Brute Force unit on my truck. The fit is good and it looks great. As for performance. Hell if I know, I still can't go WOT yet until I get tuned this weekend (breaking in the high compression motor). :)
I had the old Volant unit and it was a nice piece. It was too damned pricey for me to buy again so I just got the AEM. I highly doubt there is much of a HP difference bwteen the major units out there. |
Do a search on custom home made intakes you can make one's just as good as aftermarket for alot less.

What will sound the loudest under the hood, and possibly make the exhaust louder? i am guessing an open element. i am deciding between the aem brute force and the volant or SLP induction system. Anyone have results with the SLP system?

The AEM should be louder than the Volant.

Closed pulls from outside. I know a Dyno owner who recommended I just drop in a K&N. He has done before and agfter pulls on three popular brand CAI systems and says they net maybe a 1 or 2 HP gain. This is on a late model chevy pickup. For the monet I would not buy on if it netted 10. |
