Default Which of these does it for you???

I know a lot of you are running around with Full CAI's...

My question is, who's the most pleased with who's?

Also, weird question, which of these gives the loudest whistle of a CAI? I heard K&N but who knows...i want my **** to whistle, but not that loud..

what do yall think?

i say make your own i really didnt like the performance gain to the K&N i got

i'm going to go back to the factory box and make a new tube to the t/b

K&N filters dont grab enough dirt anyways, they may flow more but do you really need that flow for a stock lsx?

i'm sure GM engineers put that huge azz filter in there for a reason.

save your money and buy some efans or something else. I bought an fipk k&n and it wasn't worth the money I wish I would have spent the money on a nelson harness and some f-body efans.

I used to have a K&N and now have a Volant w/ ram air...performance is the same, the K&N was maybe a touch louder (growl, not whistle), and both fit nicely. I'm happier with the Volant mainly because of the way it looks and the fact that it clears the 34" rad and 05 efans, but I had no complaints about the K&N.

Dud if all you want is your **** to whistle...then but a useless TB Spacer!

But if you are in fact looking for performance gains...get you a quality CAI. I have owned 3 diffrent ones (Volant, K & N & GMPP)....and I am most please with my current choice...the Gener Motors Performance Parts CAI. Go to your dealer and take a look at it. It fits perfectly and works great!
