I have a Volant CAI and honestly I don't know if it helps or not. I like the looks of it better than I would the k&n but like I said I don't know if it does anything performance wise. It does have like a growling sound when you do give it a little gas.

is the growling like a mean sound that sounds good or an annoying one?

I have S&B with the Supper Scoop, I absolutely love it and noticed a .5 mpg increase overall. And that plexiglass lid looks quite snazzy under the hood!!!

It really won't do much unless you get a tuner also, I did the gotts mod which is better than most aftermarket cai's and its free.
