K&N or Volant?
K&N seems to be the more popular, but is it the better choice. I do like the concept of volant's air box where is supposedly seals it off under the hood. Has anybody actually tested both of these. Any suggestions?

If your talking about the lid for an LS1 go with an SLP

I have the K&N but i wanted the volant, just couldn't find anyone who would ship to canada 3 yrs ago. I would have rather had that one for sure!
I don't care for SLP's products so i didnt go with their lid, chose a different route and it works well enough

I have a K&N but I wished I had a volant. Volant has a piece that blocks off the area behind the filters which keeps it from sucking in all the hot air from around the engine where as K&N doesn't. Or well at least it does a better job in trying to keep it from doing so.

K&N if u have a non "ram air" CAI setup (SLP Flowpack). Volant if you have "ram air"..good to 2 extra hp at 100mph.

I chose a Volant because I liked the way it looked and seem to be designed more intuitively than the K&N one for my car. I didn't want just another lid like an SLP lid, etc.

+1 for volant but not impressed with fit for the price, I expected better. I just made some brackets to secure the radiator better other than that I like it.
