    I had a Vararam and I didn&#39;t have any problems with mine. I wanted a ram air system but wanted it to be functional offroad. The scoop on the Volant is high and somewhat protected but there is no imaginable way to get water in the Vararam or it getting beat up by something if it gets under the valance.

    Read this , this was posted by one of your own , Vararam added 2 hp and cut a few tenths of seconds just by adding it to the truck , as most articles show time after time Vararam adds hp and cuts second off 1/4 mile time .
    I don&#39;t care which one u go with , go with the masses , but numbers don&#39;t lie .
    Now what is a tune again?

    THATS BULLSHIT, i dont care what brand u go with its not gonna be a huge difference from one brand to the other, a few tenths of a second could very well be due to traction issues or something else, highly doubt its due just to the vararam shit.

    not to burst anyones bubble, or boil any steam here.. but,

    all companies advertise sh*t to the consumer.. it&#39;s a marketing scam.
    ie: k&n filters estimated horsepower gain near 15hp, just from the cai itself..

    exactly if one company gave u 10 more horsepower than another ud be going with the company who gives u more horsepower. people dont "go with the masses" all the time, for the most part they r all the same, i like the fit and finish of the volant, its clean and fits well. plus u can get the ram air scoop to do the exact same thing an uglier(IMO) vararam system. so for me Volant is my choice, this isnt about personal issues, just saying i like volant better. K and N is of course another great company id look at, i just like how the volant looks better. daniel has a k and n and he loves it, it works perfect so i mean it preference.

    Depends on what you are looking for. I wanted the Sleeper effect so i went with a Volant Ram Air under the stock box and then put a True Airflow tube between the MAF and TB. Definitely picked up time at hte track, does not pickup water and keeps it all hidden.....

    No matter which one you choose there will always be a decenting voice... there are different ways to get the HP/MPG/Performance you might be looking for.

    a true sleeper couldnt produce the horsepower that it takes to be fast haha, i mean u can only take it so far before people hear the growl coming from ur pipes. but rock on man&#33; i just think most gearheads could point out the badass truck from the regular trucks 95% of the time. i for 1 couldnt sacrifice that growl and all the other noticable mods just to be a sleeper. i couldnt give up my rims for stockers, or exhaust and so people would always kno i got shit done. lets see more pics of ur sleeper jethro&#33;
