Which one would you recommend? Any personal experiences with either would also be appreciated.

I have K&N FIPK but it was on my car when I bought it so I wouldn't know the difference from stock.

I did K&N FIPK. It fits well and it does give you some actual gains. It also looks cool. My dad did it as well, and felt a difference over his K&N drop-in filter in his '01.

I can say that volants quality is very good. I have one on my Focus ZX3 and I was quite impressed. I have a Steeda on my Cobra

quality of the K&N is great, seems to fit nicely and looks sweet.

Show off!
I have one also and I like it. Don't expect 10hp gains but you will notice the car pulls harder in the upper RPM's

That looks awesome. But, how does that heat shield seal to keep the dern hot air out?

I have one on the Mach and I like it a lot. When I had the GT I looked at the Volant kit, but I went with Desencharger. K&N makes a VERY good peice!!!

Where did you find one for the mach? My father has been looking all over for one for his 04mach but couldn't find anything worth a piece that had the shaker opening.

Never heard of Valant, but I love my FIPK Gen II.

There was a group buy about 2 months ago on another web site I go to.

We all got them from here:

Parkway Performance Center
1-888-FORD-SVT
www.parkwayperformance.com

Ask for Joe Charles.

We just put a fipk on my buddies 01 cobra, looks great, great quality, and good gains on the street. We're going to the track in a couple weeks, so I'll post some #'s with and without. Also, taking out the right headlight makes it peform even better.

I have the Volant on my 02.

The pipes are super glossy on the inside for best flow.

I sit in traffic so a cold air kit was a must.

Quality and fit was like a rubber glove and customer service is TOP NOTCH.

I give it a 9.5 rating (super anal)

Here's a pic of my '97 with the K&N. Quality is really nice but I can't really say I felt a increase. I wish I had orange gaskets My black one's look so plain.
