I have a volant air intake and it is pretty powerful. You won't really feel and air intakes power unless you are needing more power though, aka you have a chip, exhaust, or something else that needs more power. I actually experience slightly worse gas milage until i got Venom. if you want more info got to volantperformance.com

You can make almost any type of "home brew" intake. Get a K&N filter, a length of 3 inch PVC or sheet metal pipe, rip out your exsisting air cleaner/box/snorkel/etc(too much turbulance and restriction) and viola! a little more torque, hp, and "slightly" better gas mileage(it is better if you reposition your air intake temp sensor and upgrade to a 180 degree thermostat) Costs about 50-65 dollars depending on what you use.

Fram and good filter don't belong in the same sentence! This goes for air and oil. Unless Fram started making gauze type filters I'd avoid the paper ones. I'd avoid their oil filters as well.

Back to the subject of a kit. K&N is the only kit I know of, but frankly it's not worth the money. These kits aren't miracle cures either. You're not going to get that much of an increase in HP or torque, slight but that's all. I would doubt your MPG goes up any measurable amount. Once you put that kit on your foot's just gonna get heavier anyway. Make it yourself. Get a piece of PVC for $5 and a K&N filter for $40. There you have it.
