honestly, they are all goin to perform roughly the same....... go with the one u like the most...... i like that powder coated nasty intake or the polished spectre will work for me too...... dont really like the plastic intakes

 

Thats the thing, I know they are mostly all the same, I just want the best looking one for the best price. Still looking....

 

Not bad, not bad at all. This may be the one.....Also they have a badass website too lol

 

the spectre is 123 @ autoanything with free shippin ....... i remember i used to see these for 89bucks.... guess since they got more popular price has been going up

 

I wonder if they heat sink bad or not? Why so cheap?

 

honestly....... the time it takes the air to get from the air filter to the tb.... the air its not goin to heat up that much.... and a "heatsink" is actually a good thing for heat, as it dissipates heat keepin it cooler.. i think the words u were lookin for are "heat soak"

 

yeah thats the term i was lookin for. i'm not crazy about that polished tube but i guess it could be sprayed with pewter car paint

 

Personally i would go with the AEM intake, if you have efans gets the model designed for efans because the transistion to the TB is alot smoother....

Also the closed versus open airfilter... I have had both and this is my take on it... the closed (volant) will heat soak and will take longer to recover.... the open (AEM) will heat soak but it recovers faster... Just my .02...

 

main thing i like about the nasty performance intake is no one has it....

and i just think that would be a cool thing to have if you are planning on showing your truck

 

You could always build your own..Do you know how to weld or know somebody that does??

Intake hoses dot com and siliconeintakes dot com both have piping kits that you can fab your own up with either silicone couplers or welding...

I picked up a 90* and 2 45* silicone elbows from them and used the stock box with a Volant ram air tube feeding it..

If i buy a name brand one it'll be the volant forsure since it has the hole in the bottom for the tube already
