Cold Air Intake

I'm thinking of purchasing a cold air intake for my expy. Everything is running well, but want just a little more response when I put my foot down. Gas mileage is not really a concern because I drive it so little, but I enjoy it when I can. I currently have a K&N air filter, and I have been pleased with it. There are a couple of different intakes available on Ebay. What if any have each of you installed, and are you happy with it?

IMHO a programmer will provide more of a difference that you can feel (modest power increase but better shifting and throttle response) for about the same price as a CAI...assuming you don't have one already.

I have the VOLANT CAI unit for my 98. All in all i must say that money should be spent elsewhere if you want to get more bang for your buck. An underdrive pulley set that i recently installed provided better response and even improved gas mileage some! If you want a deeper growl from you motor then defenitely get it, my rig surprises people all the time with the roar of the intake.
Also the VOLANT piece is the only true cold airi intake for the expy because it draws cold air from the fender instead of the engine bay, that was also a major selling point for me.
