Any suggestions which is better? Volant or  K & N ? Volant has a premium coolair intake for about $325.00 and a  hyperflow intake for $128.00. Besides the price , whats the diff.?

I just ordered the Volant system with the "HyperFlow" intake tube.

The main reason I went with the Volant was the plastic material used, it does not conduct heat like aluminum does... and that is one of the objectives - cool intake air.

From what I have read and experienced, the air box is typically not the restrictive element, but rather the filter or filtering material. K&N type screen mesh w/gauze type filtration pass a lot more air than paper... and more dirt too.

I am looking into an AMSOIL replacement filter for my Volant system... they flow as good as a K&N filter, but filter more dirt out of the air. I used an AMSOIL filter on my HardBody Nissan for 17 years... it's still running strong.

I just ordered the Banks "Monster" exhaust, we shall see very shortly how it all works together.... on the phone Banks claimed 20hp and 30lb torque.

All I need now is a reprogrammed chip!
