Airaid Jr or Volant CAI for Denali?

[GMMillwright]

I'm doing the in-person tune with BBP August 12th. I've read the intake and tune yield great results. I don't need a top fuel dragster, but would like more power and effeciency (read MPG). Is the $200 for the Airaid JR or the $270 for the Volant CAI worth it? Which is the better way to go? I've read the Volant causes problems un-tuned, but that won't be an issue.

that thread will answer all your intake questions.

I checked that thread out. I can't see the results here at work. It was on a 5.3 as well. Didn't know if the 6.2 would have any significant differences. Don't know if the extra $70 for the CAI is worth it.

Think I'm going to go with the Airaid Jr. BBP's price was cheapest, too.

We do sell all major brand name intakes, including Volant.

Got mine and installed it today. I mashed the gas a little and really didn't notice any real noise difference, don't know what all the fuss was about regarding noise.

I ordered mine from my local autozone for $170 and i cashed in some reward points i had so i paid like $140. Installed it in 15 minutes...little tip bro..open the clamps all the way cuz its hard to slip the tube in with the clamps on...also if u cut a 5x5 square on the bottom of the oem air box and on the metal under it it will breath alot better

 

[yOGi420]

I had no trouble getting it on being as though I'm a plumber and I'm really familiar with using hose clamp couplings. I plan on running the box in stock form for now but may try cutting the box in the future. I know that it may be restricting the flow some. Anyone else cut the box at all?

 

[Stresst]

Ordered mine yesterday! Thanks Black Bear!

As it is the air is pulled from the fender, outside of the engine compartment. would cutting that hole within the engine compartment increase intake air temp at all? maybe a dumb and insignificant question but i thought i'd ask.

I've heard of people cutting more material out of the fender wall to open it up a bit, but that mod still separates the intake from the engine compartment.
