My AEM isn't bad. If I'd have had the money when I did it though, I'd have gone with the complete setup from Volant. The intake tube being metal on the AEM does tend to pick up a little heat and if you don't have Efans you'll either have to trim the plastic on the fan shroud for the intake tube, or deal with a rattle if you floor it from a roll.

I don't get much debris at all in my air box. They designed the box so that pressure from the ram air cannot build up in the box. They put a 5"x5" hole in the side of the box where the original air box would take in air.
This also eliminates possible water and excessive debris ingestion in the box.
I've heard if you close off the hole in the side of the Volant box that you will feel quite a difference after 30 mph, than leaving the hole open.
Though I don't recommend it unless your just putting down some numbers at the track or doing some weekend cruising .
