Once you apply simple fact supported logic to your "advertised" CAI HP gains your left with little more then 2-3 real time rwhp.

$150+ per usable HP is what ?You gained how much over stock ? ..........and now you wanna brag about it on a forum thinking nobody is the wiser ?

But it LOOKS and sounds so cool right ?

I do agree they are very overpriced but they do help more that you think. Once an exhaust and tune is added the intakes will be good for some nice power. When I added my airlid on my trans am I gained 8 rwhp. Then once the longtubes, cam, and tune went on im sure it added much more. Intakes are nice they just need other mods to support them

Like I said you get what you pay for...Volant wins...

I agree with Negra. I had an Airaid on a 1998 Ford 4.6. Kept an extra AIT and a can of Brakleen in the glove box to repair the system when the engine started pinging. Even stuck paper towels in the element after oiling to no avail. Read the TRD website, 11+ horsepower at 6700+ rpm...please.

I have the Volant and I'm happy with it so far... The only complaint is that the air duct really doesn't line up to well with the hole in the fender. You know I'm kinda pissed about that, I don't know about cheap materials but the fitment leaves a bit to be desired.


I used some of the leftover tailgate seal...and sealed around between side wall and Volant...

Many people believe it to be this way,but sadly many learn different.Mod stacking generally causes some to cancel out one or more in a sequence such as found when modding air box to tail pipes.

Advertised Hp Gains (Example only)
Air box = 8 hp
Ported TB = 4 hp
TB Spacer = 5 hp (yup suckers are still buying these)
LT Headers = 20 hp
Muffler(s) = 10 hp
Tuning = 10 hp
Total = 57 Hp
Dyno Pull after mods shows 21 rwhp gained

Air box/CAI (Hot Topic)
Dyno shows gain of 5-7 hp gain over stock(example only)
Roll it off the drums and hit the streets 7Hp heavier.
Start pushing the front tires and add abit of crosswinds or head wind,maybe top off your fuel add a passenger or two.Everything changes once you roll off the drums.

Your doing burn outs and speed runs like no tomorrow thinking you have the world by the short hairs,jamming out to all that new noise under your hood

If and when(if ever) the voice of reason taps your shoulder better listen because its the truth.
You spent $350+ for less then 2 usable rwhp and more induction noise.Cool looking plastic bucket aint it ?

Now attempt to justify your purchase........
Air box and Muffler 18 hp add the above resistance and you may have 4-5 usable rwhp and more noise.
WOW Man that less then $20 per HP .......
Cant gain a tenth on an ET,cant gain any MPG . . .

<~ Embarrassment


FWIW I Free modded an 01 LS1 then went with a lid PTB,JBA LT's and GMMG Exhaust,LS1 Edit tweaked at the track when running for ET.I base dyno'd with 2700 miles 331 RWHP after acouple grand in mods I was very surprised to see 28 rwhp gain to 361 hp.

No, you are not alone.
My birthday is today and my lovely wife bought me the TRD CAI.
It ought to go well with my TRD Dual Exhaust.
What a great chick.

but the intake was designed with the filter. If its removed will it not make as much power? Obviously it seems it would flow better. I just dont wanna spend 350 on a new product then have to start ripping crap out of it you kow

With there being no less then 20 years in age difference between us Im sure I could bore you with plenty.
