Volant CAI-Anyone using one of these?

[ibmoses]

Any of you folks have one of these?

This is not on Volants website???
I am still trying to decide which CAI is the best bang for the buck.
This looks like it has a Ram-Air type duct that feeds air from the front of the truck which should work better than just a underhood box/filter.

Thanks

No personal experience, but it looks like it should be better than most I've seen. Chevy Parts

I'm using Volant...not the one you showed though. I do think that the lower portion is an ad-on that you can get through Volant. If you have a Ram Air Hood I know they have a system designed for that. All I can say is that what they claim seems to be right on ...I would suggest that what ever system you choose, get two filters so that you can rotate them. Clean and oil one and store it in a bag, when you take the one out of the vehicle you don't have to wait or worry about waiting for it to dry or for the oil to disipate. I clean and oil mine about every time I do an oil change.

Cheers!

I just installed the CAI with the ram air tube yesterday. The instructions suck and it was a little difficult getting the airbox lined up with the bolt holes with the ram air tube hitting the inside of the fender. Also the kit uses the original hose clamp/gasket on the throttle body and my hose clamp is not strong enough to create a tight seal since it has to compress the plastic from the intake tube onto the throttle body lip. The sound of this intake is awesome, really nice and deep. Couldn't tell you about power increase as the roads were snowy yesterday and my tires did nothing but spin when I would give it some power. I chose this intake because it was the only box that is sealed from the engine compartment and I heard great things about the ram air tube. I bought the two parts seperately on ebay for about $330 total.
