    Volant or Vararam CAI??

    Ok, just picked up an 03 Ext cab 5.3L and want to install a CAI setup, i am looking at the vararam ram air setup or the volant setup with the scoop that mounts under the bumper.

    The volant is alittle more once you buy the extra scoop, but it one any better than the other??

    I've come to the Realization, that Cold Air Intake Comes down to personal prefference, i Don't think Cold air intake is Really going to make a horsepower difference, but rather how do you like looking at it when you open the hood? Personally i have volant, and it was an easy install, as is any intake...

    well is there any one that can be called the best? They all seem to be in the same price range give or take a few bucks, and i do plan to install the SS bumper covers front and rear down the road, and liked the volant scoop that mounts in the bumper scoop.

    Ill probably go with the volant, i had on on my Olds Bravada that got totaled out and it worked good and looked nice as well.
