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.

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?

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.
