Re: Volant intake ordered!!!!

Nice! What is the difference between K&N and Volant?

 

Re: Volant intake ordered!!!!

Volant has an airbox to quiet it down a little over the K&N and volant uses the new honeycomb style filters which they claim a 100,000 mile life on.

x2 also imo i think the volant will get you more cooler air than the kn due to it being in a closed box

 

Re: Volant intake ordered!!!!

k&n doesn't even have an intake for our trucks.

Yea I know,,,even though if they would have one I would still go with a volant,,:shrug:

 

Re: Volant intake ordered!!!!

yea I agree. I really wish Volant would have kept the MAF in the box rather than the intake tune. that way I could run it on my supercharged setup.

Looks good Alex

 

U could have also used some 3m anti chaffe tape

 

Looks sexy! It's just the beginning! :naughty:

 

I like it! very nice

 

where did you order it from?

 

Autoplicity.com,,, 238 shipped

 

thanks for the comments i really like it,,,next is my exhaust:naughty:

 

hmmmm I can't find it on their site.. was it on sale?

 

Thare you go dude,,,,,, Autoplicity.com. Volant 15753 09-11 COLARDO 5.3L - 15753

Yea it looks good and sounds good but doesn't do much on the dyno. Only a 2hp gain on all 3 of the trucks we tested on. Before and after tuning.

2hp is still better than 0hp,,,,pair this up with a port and polished throttle body and im shure ill get more horsepower out of it,,,,ill take looks over hp anyday with the way the crappy stock intake looked,,,,

Stock exhaust? You really won't see the full power increase of an aftermarket intake unless the exhaust is freed up first. A better comparison would be putting a full exhaust on first, then dyno for baseline numbers, then put the intake on, then get new dyno numbers. If you have a free flowing intake and a really restrictive exhaust, the intake isnt doing anything for performance.

 

Spiffy! :thumbup:

 

True the Mbrp exhaust gained 18hp, and sounds awesome! Id go with that next.

i had to do the same and plus i add a rubber hose over the ac line for extra protection just slip it over..

 

Looks good and that price is also good, i might order one for mine.

 

looks great. any sound clips?

 

I ordered one today hope i get as quick as you did

 

:bang:

 

Just installed mine

 

badass dude glad to see you have it on the truck already :cheers:

 

Just checked it out -- like you said, a decent deal. Unfortunately the cheapest shipping option they have is $46 to AK...

 

just installed a supermod ported throttle body with supersparkz and it runs great with my volant :thumbup:

 

Anybody know Hp and mpg gains from this kit. Also how much louder does it get? Thanks

 

Mine sounds alot louder then stock, sometimes i think its annoying when the truck is under a load like when driving around the city and when the a/c is on i can hear it more when taking off from a stop, but my truck has been tuned and goes into 4th gear at 38mph when cruising. If i keep it in 3rd its not that bad in the cityi just replaced the stock muffler with a 18" body magnaflow muffler and at times i think i hear the intake more then the muffler, but i havent drove the truck alot since i put the muffler on to try tell whats louder. Im thinking about putting dynamat or sum kind of sound insulation on the inside of the air box, but im afraid that the dynamat might hold to much heat once it get hot.

 

There is no maf set up ???

I broke down & ordered one last week -- got it in on Friday but I was in the middle of suspension changes and converting the stock terminals to milspecs. Hoping to get in on later today!
