I have had K&n volant airraid and they all do the same thing pretty much! I like the volant best cuz its louder than the other ones I have had...it gives a nice whisteling noise! But I only have 11$ in my volante! I would just go for the cheapest one you can find!

 

Cool thanks for the info. I'm just thinking that in conjunction with a tune, the CAI will make a difference. Probably not just by itself. I'm going to be ordering a tune here soon so I've been adding some bolt ons before I get it. (Exhaust, intake, efans, then a tune)

 

just look around and dont be in a rush. I've had the k&n 57/77 series and they work good. Found a brand new GMPP CAI for about $150. I like this inake over an open element filter.

 

Where should I be looking? Ebay's like the only place I can think of to get a good deal on a new intake.

 

i have an intake from MAC Performance on my 6 cyl and love it. ill be getting one for my 5.3 whenever i get it in

 

That's funny I think the Volant and other closed air box type CAI's are way quieter than the open type CAI's! My K&N screams compared to the Volant I had on my old truck.

I definatly think the closed air box type are the better ones to get. The Volant setup is a great one if you snag one up cheap!

 

who cares how much noise an intake makes? good grief thats one of the dumbest things i've ever heard. like said above, just make your own cai. its alot cheap and will do exactly the same thing. or you if you really want a "kit" i'll sell you my tru-flow setup just pm me

 

so what does the stock intake tube flow as compared to the other intake tubes? like cfm wise. the airaid mit says 400cfm over stock but what is stock?

 

Maybe the K&n is louder but it was on my 99 with 10" of lift super swampers and flowmasters with no cats...so Idunno theres no way I would have ever heard it!

 

Word!
