Default Cold Air Intake

I would like to install a cold air intake on my 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT. Is Volant - 4wheelonline.com a good choice? Or should I go for a K&N?

they are all jewellery.
removing the stock intake with a resonator box for a cai without one will hurt performance.
2ndly...oiled filters can damage the maf sensor
3rd...most performance filters do not meet factory filtering standards...causing engine dust out...damaging the maf and potential scoring cylinder walls

B-b-b-but I've seen dyno testing where CAIs show gains of 8-10 hp! That'll really help my ETs at the dragstrip!

Above comment was in no way intended at the OP. I myself went through the CAI phase when I was younger....

Save up a little more money for a tune. That will really make a difference in how your truck drives.
