Default Air Intake Opinion

I was just wondering of all the air intakes on the market which one is the better one to get? I like the Volant but I have heard that they aren't worth the money. What is you alls opinion? Any suggestions?

I had the K&N FIPK and I now have the Volant with ram air and they both feel the same to me. The Volant is asthetically pleasing, but you can get basically the same gains with a drop in air filter and some mods to your stock air box.

I'll just stick with my stock air box since it is a cia from the factory anyway. If you feel the need to drop the cash for an aftermarket one get a closed filter style. I think the open ones effectively allow more hot air in than the stock box does. I wouldn't mind something that looks better than stock, but it's not worth the cost to me.
