Yeah, but it's so much fun!

 

Just stiring the pot....

 

Just so you know, I don't have a CAI right now and have no loyalties one way or the other. Just trying to find something that will work for me and the highest HP output is not my greatest concern. I will use the better gas mileage of the CAI more than anything else. So my perspective may be different.

 

No, it's not.

I deal with stupidity in a fairly brisk way. If stupid is fun, then the individual will be dealt with...

We run a fairly tight boat here... you know that Stealth. I won't tolerate it...

The topic is intakes... if you can contribute, then join in. If you can't, don't bother responding.

 

Excuse me RP, but I have contributed to this thread, as well as numerous times on this topic. I think it is fun, but that's all relative aparently.

My apologies if you are offended by my aparent unintended stupidity.

 

I have noticed a few things about CIA's in gereral.

Agree/Disagree?

Running a metal CAI pipe through your engine compartment, although it really looks cool, isn't the best method for getting cool air to your TB.

Having an air box that attempts to seal with the underside of your hood is not the best method to ensure that your not letting in heat and or debris.

Oiled Cotton air filters can cause problems with electrical components within your intake system only if over oiled.

....and you thought it was a holiday.

Didnt Volant redesign their intake due to the lean condition not too long ago?I think I read that somewhere in one of these intake threads.

 

Another question is:

Do you have to disconnect your battery so that the computer can reset after installing a CAI. I am fairly sure that you don't.

 

You don't have to but, it is recommended. By doing this, the comp 're-learns' with the new intake as it's air source.

 

I just found a good deal for a Volant on eBay, but the current owner is selling it because of the additional noise. That's kind of why I am asking these questions. I don't want to get something that will give me a headache on a long drive, but I don't mind a little growl coming from under the hood when I step on it.

 

That would be good to know. If you come across that thread could you add a link here?

 

If you have the edge do you still need to diconnect the battery after installation?

 

Get an Airforce one....A lot of R & D has gone into its design...Plus, IMO it looks the best under the hood...The sound is absolutely awesome...

If you get an intake you will want a tuner though, the combo is unbelieveable in these trucks...
Goodluck

 

im also in the market and have the same concerns. check out AFE magnum force. they have a good write up on there website on the subject of lean condition. other then that the airraid looks good, but I believe im gonna try the AFE. if anyone has one chime in and let me know what you think
