has anyone tried the cold air intake from Volant? i was thinking about getting it or the k&n. if they are basically the same i rather get the Volant because it is cheaper. thanks

 

they are all pretty much the same

 

Check out the builds section and search for home brew cold air intakes. A lot of fellas have made their own for a whole lot less than the store bought variety and I'm not sure they name brand ones are any better. Course, I don't know jack.

for a tj but should see the same performance, i will end up getting the afe one at some point

 

That is a great article and largely shoots my first post down. With the description and all of the details with photos, I'd think that would be a great resource for those of us who want to build our own.

Guys, don't waste your $ on the "name brand" intake kits. I just installed my c.a.i. from ebay ($37 w/shipping, got it $3 cheaper w/best offer). I bought the kit w/out the k&n and a generic instead and it's sweet. With a k&n it costs like $80. The kits are on ebay motors under intake. Kit comes w/ a mandrel bent al. tube and all the hardware. You need to fab a support, but no big deal. I plan on isolating the filter with aluminum or something. Sorry no pics, but it looks like the aem,etc.

 

X2 on that!! I am running an Ebay special CAI and love it!!

 

i am going to have to try this one and see what it looks like. you have any pics

 

I'll get pics today.

 

You two should post a link to the ones you bought so others can take a look.

On CAI if it does not have a heat sheild around the filter it is not a CAI just an open air intake nothing more. It's not taking in cold air if it's open sitting next to the intake and exhaust manifolds..
