Hey, six to one, a half dozen to the other. We're not talking significant gains here.
The Volant sure looks snazzier in there.
With that said, I love my K&N.

K&N FIPK vs. Volant

I have the Volant with the ram air package. It sure forces air up there in the box. Each time I open up the box, I have to take leaves, dirt, small pebbles, and small animals. 
. Ok maybe not small animals, but you get the point. All in all the air flow must be good to get things up there right?

That's not true - The rubber lip seals away the engine compartment when the hood is closed.
I monitor my IAT via EFILive - On a 80ºF day, my IATs are around 90ºF - Typically 10º warmer than the ambient outside air temperature. There will obviously be some amount of heat soak - as under hood temps are typically 150º-160ºF on a warm sunny day, and the plastic composition of the intake tube and mass air flow sensor (where the IAT sensor is located) will conduct some of this radiant heat.
Here's a dyno chart off of Outlaw's site comparing it (being a closed-lid CAI) to a heat-shielded open element filter and the stock air intake, for what it's worth.That's not true - The rubber lip seals away the engine compartment when the hood is closed.
