Volant with something like the slp or SSRA I have been reading alot on the do's and don'ts and opinions on the volant, SSRA,SLP, and others. Before anyone ask's me why I would do this, I don't have an answer but I was wondering if any benefit at all would come from having the twin filter volant and making a slit say 2" x 6" wide in the volant under the filters to pick up even more air from the bottom from the radiator like the SSA does. Would this just cause more problems or what?

I doubt seriously it would make more power. The twin Volant filters are so porous that water will run right through them - I know because I clean mine once a month with the garden hose. Really no need for more ram air since they are sucking as much air as they will need. I don't even oil them, car sees very low miles. Before the Volant, I had the K&N flat filter with SLP lid and a home made air ram from the bottom of the car, it worked great while I had it

I was amazed how some had no problems with the fittment issues of the volant and some did. I was 1 that had problems, but I resolved it with a 4"X 31/2" reducer that fit on the volant Y.
