Re: Installed K&N H3 filter
Here's the low-down on CAI kits, IMHO....
-don't do hardly squat unless you replace the tube and MAF that is recalibrated to match new tube. I have not seen an aftermarket MAF for the H3 yet, but have not looked either.
-Don't trade your nice hummer factory Cold air intake for one that allows partial hot air in from engine compartment and is not 100% sealed like the factory one is.
From what I have seen out there, if I were to upgrade my wife's on her H3 (I got the H2) I would get the GM intake as theirs is probably really closey matched to the OEM MAF (However I would not expect much gains to be had from it as it does not include MAF). Only other option for me would be the Volant (not sure if it has MAF or not, but have 100% confidence in their CAI kits more so than any other). Volant is 100% sealed, allowing cold air in only.

Re: Installed K&N H3 filter
I have the Volant in my 07. Really no different than stock. It is just the box, tube, and filter. I have used "oiled" filters on my other rigs - long term. I have never had any problems directly related to the "oiled" filter letting in more dirt, or oil getting sucked into the engine or on the sensor... I have read all the articles. If I had to do it again, I would probably go with the GM chrome box cover, tube, and filter. Oh well. The Volant box is completely sealed like the stocker. The Volant stuff seams to be of good quality.

Re: Installed K&N H3 filter
I'm going to go with true flow. It keeps the stock box, but replaces the tube and filter.
A buddy of mine who is heavily into performance told me to go with Volant, but it just costs too much for me, so does the GM performance intake.

Re: Installed K&N H3 filter
Drill a little hole in the box in the middle of the filter, insert tube, lead tube to NO2 bottle, squeeze...
