Which Volant to purchase

Looking for a volant intake, they have two listed for the 2007 tahoe. Does anyone know if the ppv tahoe uses a different air intake setup than a stock tahoe?

What are the differences in the two products (15253) and (152536) the website doesn’t clearly show differences? are there any miles per gallon differences or horsepower differences?

To my understanding it shouldn't be different because the engines are the same, and the difference between the two are oiled vs no oil filter, the no oil one being the more expensive one.

Per volant the no oil filter can go 75,000 miles without service, the oiled filter is just the traditional CAI intake style.

I'm trying to decide myself which to get.

Don't know the differences, so I can't help there. As for MPG or horsepower, I don't know that you'll experience much of an increase in either, but the throttle response feels slightly better, and the truck will roar when you get your foot in it. It will sound as though you've put a full cat-back system on the truck. Really sounds fantastic.

volant # 152536 air intake and # 35753 volant air scoop - i have them both , truck sounds good , and run great. (2008 tahoe - installed on day one ,and know i have 105,000 mile on the truck. filter was replace at 75,000) i think the money was spent on a good system.

So I sent this up to volant as well, last night. The only difference is the 152356 uses the powercore filter and the other uses a cotton gauze filter. Thats directly from them, they didnt answer the part about added hp or mpg

+1 on the sound.. don't expect power gains. Just enjoy the sound and the fact your having fun modding the truck.

I would avoid ram air kits. There is no empirical data that shows that they work, and doing the math on the physics, doesn't add up. If a ram air system really worked, there would be less vacuum in the manifold at wide open throttle at high speeds. We haven't seen any difference in manifold vacuum with a ram air over any other intake.
