Volant Cold Air System : Has anyone had any experience with this dual snorkel system that looks similar to the one for the C5 & C6 . Discounted cost is $293.00 and they are claiming over 20HP RWHP? Also the VARARAM SPACER & VELOCITY STACK ?

you'll likely see 5-10rwhp gains if you're roll racing at say, 60mph. if you go from a dig, you're likely to see 1-2 tenths off your quarter and trap 1-2mph more. at least these are the usual claims.

In short, get a lid and FTRA, save the rest of the $200 and put it on custom painting and airbrushing of the lid itself. Thats what I wish I would have done.

I have never had the car tuned or on a dyno, so I'm not sure of the actual gains, but gas mileage improved and throttle response got a little better. I like the Volant until it is time to re-oil the filters. The cleaning kits are way harder to find than most other brands, namely K&N. Plus, when i ordered the cleaning kit, they sent the filter oil in a squirt bottle, not an aerosol can. The directions for applying the oil to the filter show an aerosol can being used. It was a pain to get the oil evenly spread on the filter by applying it with a toothbrush.... trust me! On the upside, if you put the toothbrush back in your stepbrother's bathroom where you got it from, it makes for a very funny reaction the next time they use it!

And I use my K&N kit to clean the filter.
