Best Cold air intake? Volant, K/N, Airaid?

Unless you are building a show truck don't waste your money on an intake, the factory one is just fine and if you remove the baffle it will roar loadly when accelerating and you will have to clean and reoil the filter. Not worth the money in my opinion.

But to answer your question....VOLANT by far....only because it's a lot like the stock setup.....it doesn't let additional hot air around the intake like K&N does, it's sealed off properly

+ 2 ,the stock setup is all you need .

I like my K&N 77 series but mine is also for show, looks better than factory does that for sure.

That setup might work if it is cold enough outside ,but as soon as it hits 75 degrees outside than it will not preform as well as the stock unit. it will also get the K&N oil on the MAF . causeing you to clean the MAF from time to time. And it will let more dirt into the engine than the stock filter .

I like mine too. I have that unit also. I guess it's all about prefrence. I Never had to much oil on my MAF sensor either, I have only cleaned it once in 2 years. Just don't go overboard putting to much oil on it. As for the roar, yep can't deny it. It is loud as hell at acceleration!!! The heat shield does a pretty good job at keeping temps down but yeah don't expect super low temps on a hot day.

I have no problems with mine. I've ran it threw the MT of Austria and at sea level in Italy and all over Germany with no issues. Clean it once a year like K&N tells you never have any over heating issues or oil. mine is matched up with a borla exhaust I'm happy neighbors might not be
