Default Which Intake Do I Choose?????

Help!!!! I was originally gonna get a K&N Intake, but some friends have suggested the Volant. Of course I want performance out of it, but I do want it to look good in the engine bay. What are your thoughts???????

When I'm ready to look at my air intake again, I'm going to go with Volant too....although the Granatelli is making me think ...

I went with the volant. Looks good and works great. The air intake tube is a nice touch also.

My K&N intake is awesome....but, it you want to later install a Throttle Body spacer you will wish you bought a different brand, they are all pretty much the same thing anyways just different looks.

Also, there are 2 styles of K&N intakes....the plastic one and the shiny metal one (77 series). The shiny one looks good but the black plastic will give you slightly more power. I went with the regular plastic because that shiny crap is pointless. Who is really going to be looking under my hood besides me or a mechanic?

Supposedly they are all similar in gains, but I plan to make a custom ram air for my volant, so the opening in the bottom is nice. Also it works great now. Just avoid any with metal tubes as the tubes get hot and heat the incoming air.
