Hello!
I am thinking of getting a Volant intake for my LBZ. What do you think of this new kit?

Also.... I am thinking of getting it from www.southernhotrod.com (http://www.southernhotrod.com) . Have you ever purchased anything from them? I talked to 'Edwin' over there, and he seems to be very helpful.
Thanks!

Well first off.....WELCOME TO DIESELPLACE. :ro)
2nd, I have never purchase items from them. But look like a nice price (on sale) and free shipping is good.
3rd, I dont have a LBZ BUT been using Volant on my LB7 and have not had any problems and think the Primo filter (8 layers) is a great filter.
4th, I think someone here tried it and their engine started throwing codes. I could be wrong but do a search and see.
5th, fill in your signature about your truck. (see mine below) Also, fill in your location in your user profile. (see mine to the left under my screen name) These 2 items will help people here answer/help when you have questions later.
ENJOY all the reading material.....there is tons of it.

That is where I purchased my Volant exhaust from. I actually found him on ebay, called him up and he cut me a good deal since I had to pay taxes, then I went to his house in Harahan and picked it up "I am in Marrero".
and as for the intakes, I think they are pretty useless and you should see more of a gain with a full catless exhaust, or a tuner.

I myself am using the DiabloSport Predator, but I have an LLY. I believe they just released a tuner for the LBZ though

If you decide to pick up the volant, I'll give you $75 for the OEM unit out of your truck.
Only if your interested.

Why would you want the OEM intake?

I have an 05 that takes air from the engine compertment. -:t The 06 LLY and LBZ have a factory cold air intake. I want to keep the factory look while getting the benefit of the cold air intake.
