The Air Raid and AEM CAI's are also pretty good, but I believe you need a tuner to adjust your A/F ratio to prevent a CEL.

I run the AirAid and Have been really happy with it. I put it on right after I did the MagnaFlow SIDO exhaust. AirAid redesigned the intake tube about a year or more ago to stop the A/F from throwing a code. I got the code tylus was refering to and when I called AirAid they told me that they redesigned it and would send me another which they did and it worked great. I didn't get my tuner until about 6 months later but I bought it just because I wanted the added power not to fix anything about my CAI.
I also agree with Tylus in that I have NEVER heard Volant was a low end CAI as a matter of fact if I was going to do it all over again I would buy the Volant over all others.

I got the volant on mine also and love the thing. The only bad thing I heard about Volant is when the 2004's first came out the volant intakes would lean them out. That was fixed a sort time after and now they are awesome.

OBXRedneck is right...all of the CAI's were throwing CEL's when the trucks first debutted. they've also all pretty much fixed themselves as well
