i got a 2000 4.7 tundra and im about to get the volant ..its said to be one of the best ill find out .
It might be so however you gain top end and lose a bit of low end (i think!!!) but you lose MPG. If thats what you want go for it. It should make some really nice intake sound when you PUNCH IT
From all that I have heard, there is no gains to be had with an aftermarket intake. BUT the one thing I have heard and have been thinking to try myself is to remove the charcoal pre-filter in the top of the stock air box. I have heard of people gaining 1 or 2 MPG increase with this mod. There is a thread here somewhere about how to remove the charcoal pre-filter without damaging it and being able to re-install it again if desired. Worth a try.

Diego, i heard about that too, but not sure how does removing the top filter increase MGP.

it is pretty restrictive looking so remove it is probably letting more air in.I removed mine about 8 months ago no regrets here we don't have emissions test.With all our refineries the pollution cars put off is the least to worry about.
what u guys recomend getting a aftermarket intake or stick with the factory one pro's and con's...
Stick with OEM and avoid all of the con's

Did you notice any difference/improvement in fuel mileage or performance?
I have the k&n fipk intake and love it. I had no loss or gain in mpg, it sounds amazing and was built perfect. Ive installed other brands in other vehicles and always end up going with the fipk intake. I cant tell you how mean it sounds when your on the gas.
