I'm new on this site but have been checking it out for a while. I have a S&B intake on my 08 SD. I do a lot of diesel performance in my shop and have had good luck with S&B's. I decided to try one out. Fitment was very good and overall looks are good as well. S&B uses 8 layers of cotton on their filters while K&N's use 4-6 depending on application. I haven't seen anybody on here with this setup so I thought I would throw it out there. They retail for $270.
.. i like that setup. seems like a fair comp between looks and price ..seems to be to be the best bang for the buck so far...i found one for $233 new...but now i cant find it again to check on shipping

I got mine through a vendor that I get my customers diesel performance parts from. Because he is a S&B dealer, he ordered it for me. I do a lot of business with him so I got a smoking deal. $233 is a good price. Hope you can find it again. I will post installed pics when my wife gets back on Thursday if you want.

i was debating between the volant and the s&b..there seems to be soo many damn options with the volant its confusing i couldnt figure out what was what lol
i dont understand why there is a diff between the 07 08 and the 09+ thought they were the same
anyways i was tryin to find some solid numbers to compair the diff actuall flow rates,hp, and price would be intersting to varify them some how and make a sticky..soo heres what ive roughly come up with still have alot to fill in to have it legit but thought it was intersting for convo sake
bank system....$358...up to 528cfm......39hp.......69ftlbs....seems alil fishy
s&b.......$218 to $269.........635cfm.. n/a hp
volant $279 to $390...........n/a cfm....18 hp........40ftlbs
k&n 63 air charger $258.......n/a cfm....17.55hp
k&n 77.............$317...........n/a cfm.....12.49
afe stage 2........$337..........550cfm......18hp.......15ft lbs
seems like a pretty big range !?!

PCV = Pressurize Crack Ventilation.
In the stock intake tube there is a small hose that is plugged into it from the intake. If it is not plugged in, there is a chance that that it will throw lean codes. My 08 didn't throw them, but my 2010 did. The new tube needs to be tapped for that hose somehow.

Positive crankcase ventilation??
