Default Volant Cold Air Induction? Good or Bad?

Hey guys, I have done a lot of suspension work to my ride but now that I have the rear end hooking up real well, I am opting for more power. I was considering the Volant Cold Air Induction over my SLP Whisper Lid and K&N. My buddy suggested if I go that route I may want to consider a larger MAF. But then if I do that I would need to get it tuned. Right? What do you think?


02 Trans Am WS6- SLP Whisper Lid, K&N, Pacesetter LT, HiFlo Cats, Flowmaster CatBack, BMR Boxed SFC's, BMR Boxed LCA's, BMR Adjustable Pan Hard, BMR Pan Hard Relocation kit, BMR Tower Brace, H&R Springs (1.5in)

Ok ok, I stand corrected. I pulled the LS1 Motorsport lid off my old TA that I wrecked last year. I just couldn't think of what the hell it was at the time when I posted my thread the other night.

Thanks for the sarcasm. I was just trying to find out if getting the volant was a better set up than what I already had.

I was thinking about getting the volant dual air filter. What do you think about that one any water problems. Why the dual just like the look.
