dannyc_2006_SS Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hey Guyss I am looking to make my first upgrade to my 2006 SS and was wondering what Brand/Model I should look into for an intake. I have searched the forums and it seems like most people just say what they have. The ones that I have been looking at is the K&N FIPK, the Volant Cool-Air, and the Airaid. Is there any ACTUAL difference between each of these? Thanks, DannyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
—Bauker™— Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 The difference is so minute that it’s not even worth paying attention to. Go with the one you think looks best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyc_2006_SS Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 thanks dude I know this is one of those questions that keeps on being asked all the time. I have had my SS for just a couple of days and have learned so much on this site already. Happy New Year to all !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 To some extent he is right, there are minor differences. The only distinction between one and the other, to me anyway, is whether they are open air filters or enclosed air filters. True CAIs that are sealed from the hot engine bay air will perform better and is easier to maintain. I would choose between Outlaw or Volant.

KoreySS Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have the Vara Ram. Although it performs well , it is HIDEOUS under the hood! Wish I would have went with Volant , it just looks best IMHO! Korey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packjh Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 not sure which one is the best in performance but i think the brute force looks the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutis1984 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 The outlaw was the one for me. The airbox is enclosed and not just a cheesy rubber gasket sealed to the hood, thats what cinched it for me. Plus there seemed to be a little bit more technology involved in the design ober the others I looked at. For example the filter which has the internal cone for shaping the air, the box itself with a curve for shaping the air and the resonator which seems to have a better design as well. I must say it is a very noticeable upgrade in performance and sound, you can definantly hear the resonator kick in at around 3000rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srtSSsvt121 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I went with air raid from chux trux and got the plastic pipe to the TB and it gave me a nice whistle sound and makes people think i am Supercharged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 A tb spacer can do that and only cost $50 bucks. The main reason I took it off my last truck. Personally, I don't like sounding like anything other than what I have. It's a little too ricer-ish, IMO. To each his own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTYW Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Volants look great and perform well. Enjoy you CAI! I went with the K&N 57 series and I am very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
