Cold Air Intake Systems

[eestubbs104]

Another questions to an old subject.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Chevy Volant Cold Air Intake Systems? http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/vol-chevy-truck.html

 

 

This systems seems to mirror the factory air boxes in the fact that it show a completely cover air filter. Let me add a statement from the web site: By adding a Volant Chevy cold air intake system you can increase your horsepower up by 18. Volant Chevy cold air intake systems increase gas mileage, increase horsepower, and increases 40lbs of torque. The Airbox on the Volant Chevy cold air intake systems inhales fresh air using its huge 4" inch fender duct. Taking cold fresh air into the Volant Chevy cold air intake system from the outside the compartment of the engine, the high-performance reusable cotton gauge filter shields the heat from the engine.

 

Right now, I am running strictly stock, but looking here for comments and advice. First I would like to upgrade my air intake system and than a programmer. Any thoughts, anyone?

From what I have read on here, CAIs are more for sound. They do add power, but not a whole heck of a lot.

You will not see 18hp and 40 ft lbs from a CAI. Maybe if you were running a blower thru your stock air intake, then switched to a CAI.
