Volant. I have had K&N in my last Ram and all my buddies that have Volant loves them and I do also. It's on my mod list for this year.

I've had both K&N and Vararam on this truck and the Vararam is a lot better, so Vararam gets my vote.

They all offer next to no real performance gains. Go with the one you think looks the best.

I was very un-impressed with the 'final product' from Varram. regardless of performance etc, its just an ugly looking unit. Looks to be some poorly adapted circle track car part!

If I ever get one, I'll be going Volant.

I like those intakes that connect your exhaust and your intake together...
They make a funny whistling sound...
