Re: narrowed it down to three intakes

I'm sure any of the 3 would be great for you.

To vote I would have to choose, other. No other button though. Or K&N.

Re: narrowed it down to three intakes

Can't speak for the other two but I'm happy with my AEM.
Have you look into the Injen, supposed to be good but a little more expensive.

Re: narrowed it down to three intakes

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.

Re: narrowed it down to three intakes

I voted Volant out of that choice. I think we need a few more with the Injen Powerflow.

BTW, have you seen the sticky on the different intakes? A lot of good info there.

Re: narrowed it down to three intakes

I like my AFE but I would have gone with the Volant if they would have gotten the Gen. 3 out faster. I am impatient.

Re: narrowed it down to three intakes

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

good luck gettin the one that works for u

Re: narrowed it down to three intakes

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 like my AFE but after seeing the Volant... it looks better inside the truck.

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.
