I have wanted to put a different air intake setup on my 96 chevy k1500 for a long time. the issue I have always had is just looking at the intake it looks pretty efficiant already. I have been looking at volant that keeps a air box and draws air through the fender still. I also read black bear performances comparison of air intakes and it looks like the volant did give a small increase in power. but I keep thinking that it looks almost exactly what I have now except for it has a more direct flow to the motor. has anyone ran these intakes??
my next thought was to maybe fabricate a airbox similar to the volant setup. I think that it would be a fun project. and my last thought was to just replace the accordian style tubing with smooth tubing and also replace the 90 degree corner by the air box with the same type. what do you guys think??
in the end I would just like to do something a little different maybe make it look a little nicer and gain anything that I can along the way. $200 is alot for a volant intake however if I have solid proof that I'll gain something out of it then it would be worth it. are there any other options? thanks
