Red made me get the Volant intake

[MAGNUM8R]

Called Volant This morning, and had the Volant intake installed this afternoon.
Thanks, Red, I really like it, it's clean, draws aor FROM both through the grill and also a scoop FROM the bottom. The DC silencer thing FROM outer space as removed entirely.
Sounds as good as the exposed cone filter FROM the CGS intake I had, and is a very nice instalation!
The old silencer had a good amount of water in it when I got it home, down in the big baffle chambers. There is no way for this water to exit, so I bet it would start a stinking before too long!
Can't wait for Gibson Performance to come through with my exhaust!
A photo is attached I think a first for me!
Later, :D

sweet....as of now i'm leaning towards the volant because i think their filter is better but i'm still waiting on the vararam and perhaps some dyno sheets before i make a decision.

Cool, any chance you can post some larger pics and with some varied angles?

Did you get a P/N on it..? I noticed that it's not on their website yet...

[BobF's 6POINT1]

Any driving/power impressions?

[BrilliantBlackHemi]

this is looking really good. I'd like to see some closeup photos, a installation how-to, and a cost. I may REPLACE my K&N Typhoon for this.

I took some more photos of the Volant installed, and huge wierd crustacion of a silencer that was totally removed. I should have posted when I could put all this together, my daughter is consuming all of my computer time.
i'll get to work where I have some peace and do it there. Driving is same or maybe better than the CGS that I removed, and both are way better than stock.
i told the guys at Volant that the Forum Members are drooling for this. C'mon, Hammerfoot, I just said droolin!!!

Got the mop and bucket right here!!

Well, here at work I can post some photos in peace. I noticed a possible MPG increase this morning with the Volant Intake. I hit some heavy traffic, some 80+ cruising, a WOT run on and iterchange, a wait at the drive through idling, and averaged 24.5 MPG on the EVIC I'm reall hapy with the Volant so far, I will try and do some Gtech runs soon.
As requested, a few better photos should be attached.
Can't get images small enough, ARRR!

Image resizer Powertoy is by far the easiest. Just right click on your image(s)

So how much are they getting for the kit?

[MAGNUM8R]

The distributer is www.incamotorsports.com Look under Volant/cars.
They have the system on special for $310.00
They tell me they will be in production next week, a bit prcey, but good design and quality. The install is a bit involved, as you need to remove the bottom panel, permanantly remove the factory silencer box, etc. They took a little over an hour to install mine, as they did not yet have the brackets for Magnums with an after market bottom billet grille installed.
So far, I like it. I will post later next week after putting more miles INTO the MPG average.

Who did install?...Have to admit not all that handy! Can a non-car, not too mechanically inclined guy do it? Love reading/listening to all you car experts!

[Rev.Hammer]

Patience, tools, calmness of spirit and RTFM! I promise ye faithful, that this too shall pass!




In other words:
Yup! you CAN do it!

[MAGNUM8R]

RTFM?? Huh??? Hammerfoot strikes again!!!
I did not withness the install due to insurance reasons, a customer tripped on something on their shop recently. My Volant was installed at the Volant factory in Rancho Cucamonga, A nice kid with mutton chop sideburns and a few piercings dii the install.
I bet if you go on the website, call the #, EXPLAIN you want an install with the unit, they would do it. Talk to Max Quezada, nice guy! Mine was $310 install included. They probably took some additional digital photos for the instructions.
I'd say it is about a 6 pack project, pace yourself and don't drink the 6 pack just reading the instructions.
Good luck!
