in the end they're arent gong to e much different. I have an fipk and I didn't notice any increase. Theres only going to be a 1-3hp difference if any between the 2. Just my $.02 but I would spend money elsewhere.

I've had both, and didn't feel any difference between the two. If you plan on doing 05 efans and a 34" radiator, go with the Volant as it will clear without any modification.

Just get the AirRaid JR kit, or a KN filter with the AirRaid MIT pipe and you'll have the same effects for half the price

For the unreasonable prices for any of these given systems, it would probably be a better idea simply to make your own.

K&N is always a no in my book. I had an interview/tour at wix and they showed me the results of K&N vs air filter test.

yeah, never coming near my truck. Air and oil filtration are CRITICAL to preserving your cross-hatching.

Plus, the oil f%(#&s up the MAF really bad. I suggest the for a carbed ride, but not EFI.
