So I want to put a CAI on my '09, but I don't know which route to go. The 3 I've considered, other than the K&N, are Weapon-R, Volant, and Spectre....Any thoughts or suggestions?
CAI Options...Any preferences?

HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work.

A couple of years back we did a dyno day. There was a Volant, a Roto-Fab and a Vararam. The three cars, interestingly, had identical tunes and identical exhaust systems.
All three cars pulled within 2 HP of each other. All cars had significant HP gains. Any of them are good - I like the Volant.
