Prior to the supercharger, I ran with the Volant and it definitely helped, plus added ~2 mpg to my overall average. Installed a water repellent pre-filter for extra piece of mind, but the Volant design is more enclosed than others (except for perhaps the S&B that Denny used to run with on his '07). Most of the guys I know who have had both intakes and Superchips tunes thought that their tuner made a larger difference in performance, although the intakes yield a throatier sound.

Fuel Economy
Now with the RIPP SC, only get around 16 MPG on 89 or 93 octane, and that's driving like a grandma, not like the grandpa style I drove previously.

I'm doing 2100 RPM . . . what do you mean coasting?
dStack got a lot better than me, but he was managing his overall fuel status with much more precision.
