I've narrowed my options down to the AEM Brute Force, AFE Stage 2 and the volant. Which one do ya'll think i should get? They all seem to be close in hp gains to me...

Titan Guy - go with the AFE Stage 2 - check it out-
The AFE Stage 2 have done their homework for the Titan. Check out the pictures of all the CAI closley. You should notice: 1. the AFE Stage 2 positons the filter direclty in front of the air hole in the Titan fender; 2. the filter is open at the fender end; 3. This means faster speeds with the AFE Stage 2 produces more cold air; 4. the AFE Stage 2 utilizes the OEM system.
All pluses over others.

thats why theyve given owners WAY MORE HP AND TORQUE ...theyre all the same...u get one to 2 HP diff with all of them and all trucks are different so all trucks get 1 or 2 HP dif anyway...
again, ull hear that ones better than the other by owners who got that specific type...now u have a few out there that have had a couple of these if not all and they can tell u what they thought and which was better for them...again though all trucks are different and ull get a different reaction for each intake on each individual truck
I'd recommend the AEM. First, with the dryflow filter - NO OILING. Second, looks pretty good. Third, it's increased my performance quite a bit.

I never tried ARE but had AEM and now have Volant. I switched because the Volant is quieter but the AEM seems to pick up faster between the 2.
Wow, the AEM was louder than the Volant?? I have the Volant and I like it but I think it is too loud sometimes (like when I'm getting on it, or going up a steep hill,or hauling, etc). I would have thought for sure that Volant was the loudest of all the intakes. Especially because it is in the sealed box. But I have only had the Volant, so I can't make any comparisons.
