Poll: Best Intake

[animalbmx]

Or save even more money and get some "no name brand" off ebay they all do the same thing

 

[tybardy]

i just want a new intake tube and than i plan to midify my air box to try and cram more air into it

 

[jniolon]

Jenna, Ty, anybody ???

I know the goal is to cram in lots of cool air... but I want to cram in lots of cool CLEAN air...

anyone seen any comparison specs on filter media.... K&N vrs AEM vrs Volant ???

somewhere I remember reading that K&N was the least restrictive but also it passed the most 'stuff' thru the filter... and all that stuff enters your engine..
clean air and clean oil keep one going longer...

I am very happy with my AEM, but I don't think you can go wrong with the K&N 77 either.

this is always in the back of my mind for personal reasons... I put a K&N in my honda 450 (quad) and blew the motor, WAYYYY to much dirt got in... now i realize that it was a bonehead move on my part because it was obviously in the dirt all day and should have had more protection... however, this seemed to be a telling sign of what my K&N replacment filter might be doing to my Truck...

still, i have the K&N replacment and am mildly satisfied... like i said, I plan to modify the air box and replace the factory air tube with an airraid tube, this should give me all the air my truck needs. hopefully my K&N doesnt kill my truck

I've had a K&N drop in in my Ram for around 8 years. I haven't looked at the internals, and it's not in the dirt all day, but it's still going. I put a K&N drop in in my Bonneville about 5 years ago, it's still going fine, once again, it's obviously not Bajahing it. I put an AirRaid intake in my Durango R/T, gave me a 2 mpg bump, it was in it for 2 or 3 years before the ride got totaled. I now have an AEM Brute Force in my 'Ho. I like the K&N's and AirRaid but I was never 100% certain I had enough oil in them yet not too much when I cleaned them. That's why I like the Brute Force dry element. It's only been in a few months so I haven't needed to service it yet but when I do it will be a wash and air dry deal, no oil to mess with.

My Rubicon (jeep wrangler) was sponsored by AEM intakes. They hooked me up with a free ($360) intake and it helped my 4.0 out A LOT. quality all the way but a PITA to keep clean IF you go polished.

I have a Volant with the lower tube that gets air thru the tow hook hole

Damn the k&n filters the worst and it's leading the poll, and it uses oil :skep:

Ive seen a straight pipe on a flow bench ... then a K&N air filter on it it made no difference in flow lossopcorn:

If you want your computer tuned. The best man for the job is Randy Ritchey of Computer Associates in San Dimas. Took my 07 Tahoe to him after installing a Vollant cold air intake and being lucky enough to be a test vehicle for Vollants cat back exhaust system. All together made a huge difference. I have a little over 113,000 miles on mine. Manual shifts at 5950 rpm, max speed 140.Just about beat a lil Chevy cobalt SS the other night.

Back in the day, I went all in and bought a K&N FIPK for my 02 Silverado. Jump forward about 11 years, and I bought a $50 cold air intake off of ebay for my 03 Tahoe. I honestly can't tell the difference, except in what I spent.
