Well I see violent makes a closed intake with a scoop for our trucks but it says you have to trim some of the front valiance. I have a fx2 so that's a no go. S&b does make a closed intake aswell but don't know much about it. Banks is higher then both but seems more promising then the other two because the opening are alot larger. But can you tell me out of all three which one makes more power?

Guaranteed more horse power would be a supercharger.....
The least agressive intake is the K&N The most agressive is the jlt ram air intake Those others you mentioned fall somewhere in between.... The most economical air intake mod is the gotts mod..... There are other restrictions that need to be addressed also....tb size, tb inlet on the manifold, cmcv, intake runner size, head ports and valves, cam duration, timing, headers, catalytic converters, ....with these your engine can only take in so much air.....then add in the limits of the senors functions

So a jlt ram air is the probably the best intake for our trucks? I already got a gryphon so I'll get custom tunes once I buy more parts. I won't install the cai until I get the tunes so it doesn't run lean.

You're on the right track with the intake drawing air from outside of the engine bay.... Why do you think that a cai is going to add power? It will only add 6-8 hp in use with a custom tune.....that's why the gotts most is ideal..... It makes no sense to spend around $300 for something the gotts mod does for under $20 Better power adders are efans and long tube headers along with high flow cats......

Gotts mod done nothing for my truck. I don't see a difference. The gotta was disappointing.
 but I don't want a intake that sits and sucks hot air. Tired of hearing about the gotts mod though. There gots to be a intake that is better then the gotts. The jlt intake looks ridiculous. I don't think the cai will do much for the truck. Just want something under the hood that looks good and sounds good. I know it will make 10 hp tops so it don't bother me. Just want the best intake system for the money. Volant or s&b or banks are all sealed in a box and looks to be better then most cais. But I'm all in for your advice. I plan on lt, exhaust, fans, gears, and ud pullys. Don't get me wrong I done my homework but you guys here no more about cais then I do. In all honesty which cai would be best and not suck in hot air? I appreciate all your help man

I'd steer clear of the S and B for sure I had one and took it back. It worked good set to stock tune but resonated like crazy on any tune. Resonated loud enough you couldnt carry on a conversation in the cab of the truck. The Gotts works really great I did it with a drop in k and n filter. It performs just as good as the s and b but no resonance.
