Well went with the K&N set-up for a couple of reasons. For one, their horsepower ratings are 11hp on a stock 360. Granted I have headers and a full exhaust, I suspect the h/p ratings will reach higher numbers.

I also just like the K&N name, they sell the most for a reason. Their new intakes also don't have the cracked tubed issue anymore, so I just went with it.
I used to be a huge K&N fan, wouldn't have gone any other way. Then I looked at all the info this site has to offer, by so many experienced do-it-yourselfers. The ones that backed it up with actual facts/reasons/explanations were the best help, and they showed me that sometimes, many times, the CAI thing is just a myth.
I was going to go with the volant, but I don't know, was too expensive for a name I didn't know much about. I'll let you know how it works out though, I'm excited to get something pushing into the engine, should really start to open the beast up, plus look really good in the engine bay[8D]
This is all my opinion. Just don't like to see ya waste money when ya have that big tranny loan to pay off. If you want to actually see this explained in depth/great detail, look up that famous thread "K&N FIPK No More".

I also heard they had fixed the cracked tube issue, but thats not what I am concerned about. The K&N name is good, don't get me wrong, and in some cars they work wonders. Until recently (gonna try Wix), I have been using nothing but K&N oil filters. But in our trucks, you are better going with an enclosed CAI, ram air kit, or open element. The K&N in our trucks is not enclosed, it still sucks up hot engine air (that "heat shield" doesn't do much), and so doesn't actually serve the purpose of a CAI. Therefore, you are getting the benefits of a bigger filter/air cleaner, thats it. Its not any colder than if you had an open element.

I don't know why their product is ignornant Indy? I don't think the air hat will flow any better than the K&N kit. I mean, the filter literally sits on top of the engine, I think both will be equal in power...
Did I mention I got the kit for $75??? It was cheaper to buy the complete kit on ebay than it was to do the airhat. The kit I bought is from a person who sold their truck, and the new owner didn't want the intake on the truck. It's practically new, so I just knew it was the best time to grab it while it was incredibly cheap. I think the truck will react nicely to the intake. The truck has a ton of air leaving the truck, and has a ton of power. With the combination of the nice kit, and the Fastman, I think it will yield a really nice punch. I don't know why I'm considered ignornant for going with their kit as opposed to doing the airhat? I mean it's just cold air intake, I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about it. It's better than that stock airbox, and I've been wanting an intake since I had the truck. Some like the airhat, some like kits, I think both don't make any crazy numbers, but an intake is an intake, no biggy.
In regards to the plenum, I don't think I have a leak. I've been driving the truck around for the past couple of days, and I've gotten my miles back up to 11+mpg. I've really just been trying to enjoy my truck. I'm not really in a rush to start digging into any deep projects. So I did the bedliner and the intake kit for some serenity lol. It's just nice having the truck back, she's running great and looking good too. Anyway, I just couldn't pass up the intake. I managed to get the seller to bring it down from $150 to $75, was a great price, and I'm excited to get her installed!

Indy, you got to choose what angle you want to come from. You just got done helping me out through PMs. I went out on a limb to try and rebond our relationship, and I think it worked nicely. Then you call me ignortant for going with a K&N kit? It's just not very nice. I also got it cheap too, you can't beat that. I just personally don't like the look of the air hat, nor like the fact it sits on top of the engine...I mean, how can that be any better than the filter being closer to the radiator? I don't think either intake yields significant horsepower, but I sure as hell do think it's going to be a nice addition to the truck.
