I love this forum You guys are a wealth of knowledge. Filter size does matter to me so thanks for that tidbit of info. I have been leaning towards the series 77 anyway because I feel like you are probably getting both good looks and performance there.
Really is nice to know that no matter what I decide to buy one of you guys has tried it and has info about it. Thanks again everyone.
I am probably going to go with that series 77 kit because I have yet to hear anyone talk bad about K&N products and I love the way that thing looks.

 

personally i think all the chrome ones look cheap, like ricers. my votes for the volant cuz it just looks best quality, and it doesnt get any dirt/water damage.

basically, if ur gonna be driving in the dirt, live where it rains, or live where its hot... then get volant. otherwise, get the k&n

 

[QUOTE=hyper]personally i think all the chrome ones look cheap.

Well chrome was here way before those darn ricer's. Even our classic trucks and cars had them back in the good ole years. My vote is for the K&N 77 series, I have the Gen III K&N FIPK (regular one) kit in my Sierra. Ill be shopping for an air intake kit in a couple of weaks for my 5.3L Yukon, and I have my eyes set on the 77 series...

 

the 77 Series difference is a Chrome or gray pipe and thats it, filter size is the same

 

ya but our trucks arnt those classic cars from back then either, theyre made with more black plastic instead of chrome

 

guess im the oddball here. my intake seems to work fine, and its cheaper than the rest

 

FYI, the K&N 77 series has no crome, it is polished aluminum.

 

I have seen two of the regular FIPK air filters on the same truck and it is noticably shorter than the one I have(77series).

 

Im satisfied with the new volant!

 

is the K&N 77 series polished tube heat shielded? some kind of heat resistent coating.
