Volant or AEM

Black Duck 1 · 01-03-2006, 06:59 AM

Ok so what is the concensus? I am torn between the two. It almost looks like six one half dozen the other. I really like the polished look of the AEM but I like the volant because it is sealed.
Thanks for the help .

Don't forget about the AFE. It is sealed too with the biggest filter. AEM also has the Dryflow filter that does not need oil. Volant is the only one with the cool air tube. You should ask yourself which one of these features are more attractive to you.

The AFE doesn't have a sealed box, at least mine doesn't. But it does have something that the others don't......a huge velocity stack filter.

I'm sorry, I was thinking about the lid as apposed to the open top of the AEM. The volant is the only completely sealed box.

But I plan on making mine a completlely sealed box this spring......

THE AEM seals to the bottom of the hood at least mine does

I have both... went back to the AEM when all was said and done.......

I had both of them and went with the Volant in the end but I miss the quietness of the AEM in comparison to the Volant. '03 I need to borrow your KB and #8.

You could try to find some sound clips on both and compare yourself.

The Volant is by far the louder one----No question about it !!!!!

If I had to chose between the two, the Volant would get my vote. Only reason is because it's enclosed

I have had both systems (Volant and AEM and the stock airbox) at the same time and have interchanged them and have listened to them at all RPM's and the Volant is by far the loudest at all RPM's low, mid and WOT.

Where is the cheapest place to get the Volant?
