Default Air Intake Time

Well after a minor setback with my u-joint replacement I think I'm ready for an air intake. Just looking for opinions here based on personal experience. Looking for best sounding air intake, I know they won't be loud, but maybe someone's found one that sounds better than pthers^^ also if you noticed any mpg increase please post much thanks!

I have the banks air intake and I love it! It sounds great , and fells like it has more pep and possibly a small mpg boost but I installed my 35s around the same time. At the end of the day I am happy I did it money well spent.

Mike do you use that protective case around the filter that came with the kit?

Yes I used everything that came in the box. It keeps hot air from the engine bay out. Well as much as it can

I have a volant and love it!!! Sounds great has a better throttle response especially in 5th an 6th gear wear i lost it most runnin 33x12.5 and its a closed box... Notice small mpg driving conservative about 3 more mpg...

Well not to be Mr. Negative but I think the throttle body spacer is the worst mod for the money any one can do, zero results... I'm on the fence about the CAI. For all you get out of one it's hard to justify the money spent. If I were to buy one though I'd go with an AEM. Personally I'd spend the money on an exhaust system before but I see you already have. Sorry boys just an opinion.
