I sell K&N, AFE, AirForceOne and some others, but I personally REALLY like the S&B intakes. S&B is very high quality all across the board, from their intakes down to their instructions.
Right now I am offering $5 off S&B filters using coupon code "5offsb". You can also get the airbox custom engraved for free, if you wish.
Let me know if you have any questions,

CAI won't improve your mileage. I have a Volant and love it. However, it hasn't improved fuel economy at all. It does have a nasty resonance around 2400 rpm that sets off the entire truck. If you're pulling the trailer a lot, you may not like it.

Mine is in the mail...
I ordered the Volant (and Edge) from Jusnes and it should be here today or tomorrow... I am interested to see how it effects the over drivability and performance as well as the fit and finish when installed.

It doesn't improve mileage to much but helps with power along with the edge I have installed.
