Intake survey

yes, its another intake question. i have been doing some homework with intakes on the threads thats been posted about intakes ( especially shailey's from club titan ). all this information has been helpful to me, but i am still in a great debate on which to buy. i keep debating on which on to use because i had a problem with one in the past. it started on my other truck a 2000 tacoma, i was running an AEM brute force. after one and a half years of service it tripped my MAF and i needed to replace it with a new MAF. the MAF was tripped by the oil from the filter so i was looking for a filter that didn't need oilling. i know AEM has resolved this problem with thier new dryflow filter, and so has Volant ( i think ), but at the time there was no non-oiled filters. so i replaced the AEM with a Volant system. i picked the Volant because it seemed much better design, with cooler air flowing by being protceted with a box design and not a heat shield. plus my AEM tube was cracked the after MAF sensor so i thought a plastic piece would be more less problems. the volant performed well, just not as loud as the AEM ( i kind of like the noise ). so to finally end this long story, i want to know what type of intakes most of the members are running. i have narrowed it down to 3 inatkes.

1) S&B - my friend has it, and i heard and felt the performance that it has been a top consideration, just issues if it has oilling problems with the MAF

2) AEM - just because it performed well in my tacoma, and it has the new dryflow filter, plus i loved the sound

3) Volant - also because of the perfomance in my tacoma, and it has a newer design from the previous models

i also liked the injen but i heard it was a little quiet. i know what it comes down to is your own pefrence. so if you could please ease my mind a little. i left a poll to see which intakes were the best contenders, in the titans. so if you could please vote and leave your thoughts on how your intake performed.

Need to add Nismo to the poll. I love it hands down v.s. my K&N 77 on my old 04 titan. I voted for other

I got the Nismo, looks nice, but it's not sealed. I have been doing some modifications to give a much better seal.

I know you didn't have a Nismo up there but I really like it, I didn't like the idea of the plastic intake as much. It sounds bad even at 2100 rpm, also the fact that it matches everything under the hood i also like. I would have gone with another 77 series on my new 07 but the returns were higher on the NISMO.The heat shield is a lot better on the Nismo the K&N was flimsy. I cant complain with the oil it sure cleans up nice, and since i have never ran an oiless i dont have any experiance with these types.
