Which CAI do ya'll like the best for the 5.4L? What kind of MPG gain do you see with one? I was looking to buy the Volant.

 

just put in an afe cai and magnaflow sido cat back.... got a couple mpg increase. dunno how much is from the cai or exhaust but a definite increase. my guy at my performance shop says that afe is as good as banks just $100 cheaper cuz u don't pay for the banks name

 

is the afe cai in a sealed box for cool air only?

 

My results after installing a CAI, SIDO Magnaflow were negligible...

well after resetting my computer by disconnecting the battery, according to the mpg on my computer i get at least 2 mpg better after the sido and afe cai. noticable difference in how often i refill too

 

the Volant rocks...I've had mine for 1 yr and it's amazing how it sounds and the dramatically increased throttle response

MPG didn't go up or down

 

that's the first good thing i've heard about volant. as far as i know they are bottom of the line. sorry tylus

 

where did you hear that? the Volant is #1 or #2 in terms of quality and effect for the F-150

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.

 

you will get a CEL running the volant or any CAI stock?

 

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 too have always heard good things about Volant.

 

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.

 

yep...never had a CEL on my truck

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

 

i am going to order a Volant. I can get one for $255.
