Volant intake system?
Volant intake system? Has anyone used the Volant air box intake system on an SS? Does it seal up to the factory hood? What kind of power gains has anyone had compared to an Hi flow lid and K&N?

Re: Volant intake system? I've heard good and bad things about those, most people tend to stick to the regular lid/filter setup...
I would even do a fast toys ram air... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Volant intake system? Nice performance increase and great sound, but the air filter keeps falling off the air tube, had to run 2 screws into the filter base, now it is cracking, kinda pissed, would not buy again.

Re: Volant intake system? You got a little money to blow, go with the K/N FIPK! You won't be dissapointed! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
Re: Volant intake system? FIPK isn't that great. FIPK sucks hot air.
I have had a Volant for 2 years. More power than a lid and much better looks.
Two years i have had no cracks, filters have been cleaned and been removed and replaced with no problems at all. The only thing i don't like is...oh wait. Actually nothing! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The only intake that would replace my Volant ever is the new TEXAS lid that has the smoother rounded corners... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
