some money to throw around on a cai and stuck

I have a little bit of money to throw into my truck and im wanting to throw a cai into it. i have been looking around and i dont like k&n because it has an open air box and i do quit a bit off road stuff. i am stuck between the Volant and the afe. Any help?

 

Save your money...they only make the intake louder...zero performance gains...stock is already a cold air intake

 

nuff said^^^^

 

AFE

 

I had a Volant on my first truck, they sound good over 3k rpms but as stated earlier almost zero gains... Just buy a stock K&N replacement filter and you'll be good... Trust me save your money and throw it at another mod...

 

They often result in lower mpgs too.

 

Don't know what you have on your truck, but as stated, throw your money at something else that is useful.

 

Just buy it

 

This^ I have the K&N on mine and it is the biggest POS money robber of all time doesnt do any thing for your truck, I would keep it stock and use the money to buy a muffler or something worth the while

shots the hell out of that plan. what would be a good mod to make about 15-20 without a s/c?

 

15-20 more horses? Apr x-1 http://www.customtacos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123013
Good luck finding one though...

 

Not much is going to add a noticeable increase in power on these trucks short of forced air induction.

 

I mean, he could maybe overbore or figure out a stroker kit, but let's be honest, OP is looking to spend K&N filter money, not custom machine shop money

 

a friend of mine puts an intake on everything he buys with a motor. it makes him happier than shit. it looks cool, sounds cool, and to him, makes more power.

I will never invest in that again, but im much more drab. . . .like eiorre

 

Roth IRA is much better in the long run...

 

I don't know about stock. I run a supercharger. I put a AFE CAI on the S/C and I noticed an increase in power and MPGs.

 

I might have noticed maybe 1-2 degrees cooler on the highway. Nothing in the city. I believe the advantage comes from the good air filter and the ability for the S/C to suck more air, over stock intake. AFE is less turbulent and gives a better flow. I got all my numbers from logging down what my Scanguage gives me. (Intake temp, 0-60 times, and MPG). I also ran the numbers for MPG.

 

i bought mine because everyone told me no

 

if i really wanted to i could put the s/c in my truck but with that money i have other plan. looks like im throwing an exhaust on for now. thanks for the advice.
