Default CAI decision ?

well i have a 2007 dodge ram qc with a 4.7L flex fuel truck that currently has a Dynomax dual cat back exhaust along with a drop in K&N filter, now i need your opinions?

option #1- keep the stock intake box with the k&n drop in filter and go get an airaid intake tube 2 get rid of the big air baffle $120

option #2- go with a full CAI from volant $300

This is what i narrowed it down to, LMK what the better option is

Well I can say I paid a lot less for mine ($50) and get the same effect as everyone else. People here can argue all they want about it but if your arguement isnt backed with numbers on the IAT from a SC tuner or something similar then it means nothing to me. I have pulled my numbers before and shared them.

All of the intakes give about the same amount of power unless you go w/ something like the bfi. Try this one instead of the airaid http://www.amazon.com/True-Flow-3050.../dp/B0007W1JX8 it comes w/ an extra filter and is about the same price.

remove the hat and stick with the k&n. bolt it directly to the TB cheap easy and just the same as a 400 dollar set up
