What do you guys think abut the Volant vs the S&B for a 5.4? Noise is not an issue for me. Im going to try and get one by the end of next month and cant decide.

 

Throw Outlaw Power in that list. All three companies are located within 30 minutes of each other. All are enclosed filter systems. The Outlaw Power has the washable NeverOil synthetic filter, while the Volant and S&B use the oiled cotton filter.

If you haven't heard of Outlaw Power, their info is here: http://www.outlawpower.com/productdetail.php?sc=1486

I also recommend you take a look at the Banks Power intake if your budget allows.

 

Hey 05ltfrdtough I tried to email you. Email me at gscott@bbwi.net.

 

I installed the S&B last week and had a bad resinating noise at 1800rpms. Almost to the point I was going to sell it. But the performance was exellent with my exhaust and programer. So today I figured I was going to loosen everything up and check all fittings. Well I must have tighten everything to tight because as soon as I began loosening a few couplers it all adjusted it self and its a lot more quiet I took it for a 20 minute run with the wife and kids and the wife thought I put the stock intake back in until I merged on to the highway. Im 100% happier with this intake now. On a side note everyone who sees this on my truck has loved it.

 

Thank you for the input guys, Im going to go with the S&B. For those who have the S&B anything i should know before install?

 

Hey 05bltfrdtough email or call me 816-390-2163. I tried to email you but you don't accept private messages.

 

Hey i got that fixed so if you wanna go ahead and email me now it should work thanks!

 

Dont over tighten the couplers.

did your manual for your s&b say anything about horsepower gains?

 

Ive never seen Dyno ratings. But I can tell you that It makes a noticable difference in my truck. I also have a Magnaflow si/so exhaust and a Edge programmer. Definitley worth the money.

 

good deal, i have the edge also and soon gettin a maggie di/do 11" so i should be right up there

 

That should sound pretty good.
