Cold Air Intake (fipk)…

1.) Price

2.) Different intake tubes (none benefit the other)
3.)Different filter’s

Now from reading online, the volant is OK, but they are a lot more restrictive then the K&N, i have K&N and LOVE IT!

But you can also go on Ebay and get a cheap intake with like a spectro filter and metal intake tubing witch add some cool sound it more than the plastic tubes do BUT, the metal intake tubes do something called HEAT SOKE, meaning when then under hood tempters rise and stuff, the metal heats up and hold the heat in, there for heating up the cool air coming into the intake. That’s not really what you want, will you see a difference, maybe not, maybe in the summer when it is HOT! haha

The point of the COLD air intake is to draw in cool/dense air in to the motor, witch makes better combustion, better mpg, power.

So if you have cool air coming in and being heated by the Metal intake tube it kind of defeats some of the popes, yes you will get more air flow into the motor due to the let restrictive air intake, but might as well make it all worth it, Specially the 2.2l. every little bit counts.

My personal choice is the K&N, love mine, comes with a CARB # and a dyno sheet with it also, Makes +7.5 HP at the wheels. I hope this helps….

“volant in my opinion is a very good product..I used to run one on my truck until I got the KnN one..reason i changed was because my buddy had it and said I could try it out, its definitely way louder and I did put a different filter on mine…but it didn’t see any difference in power between the both…i know a lot of turbo cars run this style filter so i thought i would try it out.”

Quoted from Sandaholic502

“Yeah some off road trucks use the foam style filters, I don’t know I have seen some specific filter testing and the results weren’t what i expected. Everyone claims k&n lets more dirt particle thru than any other filter.  i read a test of k&n, amsoil, paper fram, paper napa, foam style filter, and baldwin filter.  results were k&n had the least air restriction than all of them and filter better than all besides the paper filters.  the paper filters filtered out the most dirt but the air restriction was a huge difference.”
