Default 3.6 JKUS Air Intake

I'm looking at adding an Air Intake to my 2012 JKUS with 20k miles. Why just replace the air filter right? The Volant system has caught my eye, especially with the optional hood snorkel I can add later. Any comments, pros/cons? Improved fuel economy isn't as important as the sound mix with the soon to be added meaty 33's. Thanks!

I got the afe stage 2 and it increased my mpg's by about 1 mile per gallon so far. It's a lit more responsive now when I hit the gas. You can actually hear the engine sucking the air in. I also have 285/75/16 cooper stts on 16 in artillery wheels. The cai even made my stock exhaust sound better.
