bcarricarte 02-01-2006, 07:11 PM I just installed my volant intake and I am pretty disappointed with its quality, mainly with the tube and its sleeves. It just seems like a rigged up kit. It did seem to add a little bit more power, but I think I'd go with another system if I had to do it all over again.

DIESELMAN75 02-01-2006, 08:39 PM what do you guys dislike about it so much bcarricarte 02-01-2006, 09:53 PM its pretty just a box around a large filter with a plastic pipe that has some rubber sleeves to connect it. I'm gonna test it out to see if theres any difference in mpg. But I mean come on 250 bucks for a plastic tube and box with some rubber sleeves. Bodysurfer 02-01-2006, 11:09 PM All intake kits are pretty much the same and cost the same. At least its not one of those open top/sheet metal 2 sided boxes (not really a box) with a rubber gasket thats suppose to form a seal against the hood. Just my opinion. supatrucka 02-02-2006, 06:05 AM So do you think you should have gotten the AEM with the dry flow filter. dave Bodysurfer 02-02-2006, 06:14 AM No, the Volant system works for me. But do like the new ideal of that "dry filter". I might look into adding that filter into the Volant air box. DIESELMAN75 02-02-2006, 12:16 PM So do you think you should have gotten the AEM with the dry flow filter. dave i think that filter will be the new way to go because of the no oil and that will keep a lot of people from over oiling the filter and will keep that MAF clean Denboy 02-02-2006, 10:54 PM Excuse my ignorance but how can they call them "cold air intake" no fridge invovled to cool the air. As I see it it sucks in air from the outside of the truck, wether it is 32* or 115* like in Vegas at time??

Ahhhh, that's what an intake system is. towdog333 02-03-2006, 11:26 AM So do you think you should have gotten the AEM with the dry flow filter. dave Didn't know AEM had a dry filter, does it work :confused: DIESELMAN75 02-03-2006, 12:36 PM Excuse my ignorance but how can they call them "cold air intake" no fridge invovled to cool the air.

That was running empty and not towing. Who knows how hot it gets under there while towing. :eek: supatrucka 02-03-2006, 02:28 PM Didn't know AEM had a dry filter, does it work :confused:It'll be in monday. dave supatrucka 02-06-2006, 06:50 PM It'll be in monday. daveWell it went on real easy and it look's nice and it doesn't whistle as loud as the trueflow i had so i'm happy. SOP it feel's like it spool's alittle faster and pull's harder but who know's i'm just getting set up for the big tune;) cause they say you need one of these dohickies to produce better #'s. dave | ||
