Volant Cold Air Intake

m4ck · 10-10-2004, 09:08 AM

I received the Volant this past Thursday and installed on Friday. All I can say is wow. I was skeptical if it would really make much difference. It may be because I already had an aftermarket exhaust on the truck but I will tell you the difference is noticeable. The sound is terrific when you punch it. It really opens the truck up. Throttle response is much quicker also. I give the Volant a 9 out of 10 for performance upgrade and on a scale of 1 to 5 for difficulty to install a 2. It took me about 1 hour 15 minutes but thats because I was taking pictures the entire time after each step. If interested I did a install review with lots of deatialed pictures. Check it out if you want Volant Intake Install I recomend it to anyone looking for a little more from their Titan.

have to be registered to see the pictures. oh well, i'll stick with my stock air box mod, and maybe throw in an airhog once the stocker gets dirty.

thanks for the install writeup though.

thanks for the info, did you have the factory airbox mod before the volant? isf so was there a difference between the two.

You didnt want to read it because you would have to spend a minute registering?

Hey thanks Mike. Yeh I did have the stock intake mod already and yes I definately noticed a difference. I do have an aftermarket exhaust which I'm sure helped, but I had that exhaust on with the stock intake mod also. It is a great extra sound you get up front when you gas it. Its a cool sucking air sound. Throttle response is a good step up. Overall I am loving this intake. And yeh I got a lot of detailed pictures up. If you are going to do this mod you may want to look at it. Might save you some grief.

I am not entirely sure if you can put a Volant filter on a stock tube. But check out this deal. It says there are 2 left in stock. And at a great price. You will get better results if you get the entire kit.

My mistake guys , I thought just the box came in a package, i know see the box and the air tube are all in one. It was the ram air air tube that was sold seperate.

blavis i seen the site you posted I have an 08 titan those were for like 05-07 not sure if there is any difference though. maybe the new 08 box's kinda fix the mounting problem i have heard about in some forums.....

I assumed the engine compartment was still the same on the 08 models. I better do my homework and find out.

I think I remember seeing a Ram Air tube for sale on the buy/sell forum this evening.

I added the ram air to my volant CAI and did not notice much difference other than it being a little quieter under WOT. Any pressure boost is lost to the fender. I have considered making a flap or door to cover the fender intake if the ram air pressure was greater but have not tried it. Not worth the $100-120 in my opinion.

Has anybody heard both Volant and AEM CAIs which one sounds better during high revs??? Is there a difference in sound between the plastic air tube on the Volant vs. the AEM aluminum tube??
I personally have the AEM CAI, love the sound/performance, but hate how dirty the engine compartment gets w/o the covered box.
I guess my point of my question is would the change from the AEM to the Volant be worth it just to keep the engine clean?? Would I still have the same sound/performance with the Volant? Or could I use the aluminum tube from the AEM and use the Volant airbox?

Sorry to be so long winded.
Thanks in advance
