Volant Intake pictures In case you want to take a look, I just finished installing it. I don't have pics on my site yet - need to wash the car before that

could you do me a favor and take some pics from the back of the intake and maybe a straight down shot? trying to get an idea on the clearance between the back of the intake and the TB

Answering all your questions....
Rokko: I don't notice any difference. I have to test the car at WOT to be able to tell, but I don't think it will make a big difference. I'm sure I'll feel it better when I get my Shaner S3
Alucard: I can take the pics, it just may take 1 day or so until I get my camera back.
SDC: I don't think I'll bother going to the dyno just because of the new intake. I'm sure the difference is very small (if any) from the SLP lid I had.
Wino: If you want the looks go for it, but I doubt it will make a big difference, but again it depends on what mods you already have. I believe the Volant may be overkill for me now, but now the intake is prepared for the future mods
4 out of 5 stars for Volant just because the fit wasn't exactly perfect, otherwise it's a great intake

I got one of the original ones when they first came out. I had it dyno'd back to back vs my Directflo lid and K&N(since i got the volant free this was my payback to them)
I dynoed 3hp and 4ft/lbs tq higher than the lid. Could be very negligible gains but it looks so much better than "another" lid and it sounds throatier too...
mine is going on 3 years and still looks good.

It seals OK. It's not the best for the Ram Air hood, but I think it's better than the lid because at least it shields against the engine heat.
Mine wasn't too bad. I didn't have to cut anything. What I did was put together the Y pipe and the MAF before putting the box in place. After that, connecting the accordion style tube from the MAF to the TB was easy. I installed the filters last.
