Volant or AFE or AEM

Wondering which CAI to go with, wanting the one with most power gains and don't care about the noise.

I have a K&N 77 series and like it pretty good but I like the afe better but I wasn't willing to spend the price difference.The volants quality looks poor and from the installs that I've seen I don't know how it makes any power. The intake tube is larger in diameter than the throttle body and it has a neck down coupler that doesn't even have a smooth transition it has to add a lot of turbulence and volant doesn't have an in house dyno to see if their intakes really make power K&N does. The reason most people buy the volant is because of the filter it's a donaldson design and is supposed to go 100,000 miles before you have to replace (yes I said replace) it. I'm waiting for the banks to come out it would be the only one that could possibly replace the K&N and they also have an in house dyno to verify the power gains.

The AFE makes about 19hp gains and I have a lot a good customer reviews

I installed the Volant on my grandpas DC and it fit just fine and definately added a few ponies not to mention better throttle response.

And yeah, in-house dyno's are pure marketing bs
