SuperStock Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hey everyone, I will be getting an intake for xmas. On my last silverado I had the K&N cai and it was nice but hated the fact that you had to oil it and I had to to clean my MAF and the throttle body due to the oil. I want not sure which on of the two intakes I want I have it narrowed dow to the aem and volant. I like the aem bc of it's dry flow filter and the fact it has the 4" tube. I like the Volant bc it is a sealed box and you can add the scoop. I need some help on deciding on whitch intake I want. My plans for my truck are LT headers, tune, FAST intake, 102mm throttle body and a few other odds and ends. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverad0 SS Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) K&N CAI FTW!!! I let mine dry for 12 hours, Edited December 6, 2011 by Silverad0 SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruben525 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I have an aem cai and the dry filter is nice but I know a lot of people buy volant cai's too. I think I heard the plastic tube doesn't get as hot. I don't think you can go wrong with ether one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStock Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Yea it is just a hard decision still unsure aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. Does the volant sound any different than an open box design like is it louder or quieter?

avtonomb Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I have the volant without the ram air scoop, and to me personally its pretty quiet. I can just barely hear it at WOT. I had k&n before and i prefer my volant by far. Much better design. Just my .02, plus if you want you can get their powercore filter which is a dry filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Some of the fastest trucks on here are running Volant, so I would go that route. However, I do not like oiled filters myself so you could always order a AEM conical filter to replace the Volant oiled filter. That is my plan unless I go GMPP cai. edit - I wouldnt go with the Powercore. Edited December 6, 2011 by 03mass (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avtonomb Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 why no-go on the powercore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStock Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Ok well I will probally go with volant with scoop, what wrong with the powercore filter filter? and what aem filter should I get? Whats the difference between 151536 vs. 15153? Edited December 6, 2011 by Fast04Chevy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
