Just wondering who out there has a volant cai and love it ? Cant decide on Volant or Trd intake. I got a magnflow ss dual exhaust coming in next Tue. and debating which inake to match it with.
I had a Volant for a long time and it was a great intake. It sounded awesome and I really felt an improvement in air flow vs stock. I currently switched to Trueflow just because the foam filter cleans air better then the cotton ones. But, I was never dissapointed with the volant and it looks great

An important note here: The Volant for the 5.7L V8 uses the Powercore filter. Its not a cotton gauze but a specially designed paper honeycomb type filter.
I had the Airaid first then switched to the Volant. The airaid was a good intake with good fitement, it was just too loud for me. The Volant sound is more subdued under load at high rpms, compared to the Airaid. I also felt like the Volant gave me more low end as well...
i have the volant power core on my tundra. it is ok. i dont feel the low end power as much as i would like. however, it seems to kick in at about 3500 rpms, then it really picks up as rpm's climb to rev limiter. supposed to pick up 21 hp at peak. decent unit overall, needs more low end though IMO.

I have the magnaflow 2 in 2 out passenger side exit p/n 16782 and the Volant CAI. I had an increase of almost 2mpg after they broke in and the truck learned everything. I am seeing more now since they are changing to summer gas mix. I love the CAI and the exhaust as a whole. They sound excellent together and imo work very well together. They compliment themselves extremely well. I would pull the trigger and go for it my friend. You WON'T be disappointed.....

I have installed Volant CAI at 1,100 miles....2,200 miles later its awesome...only hear it when you go at it...sometimes under load at slow acceleration I hear Volant and Corsa Exhaust Rumbling together its sounds awesome...

I have Volant CAI and Zoomers exhaust. I like both, and I seem to have gained back the MPG that I lost from lifting the truck and oversizing the tires. Sound is very subdued until you lay into it, then it sounds cool. Not quite as quiet as stock at cruising, but not bad. I chose the Volant mainly because of the dry filter.

Still to Come: Headers? Speaker/Sub upgrades? What else? Supercharger........? I'm sure I'll think of something.
Here are a few pics of my Volant in my dirty engine bay. I love it so far. I've actually had a Volant in my 2001 Lightning currently one in my 2004 Navigator. I am a fan of the open filter look however nothing beats functionality. I think it looks awesome also for being a closed intake. Sounds great at WOT and made my TRD exhaust worth having now.

I recently went back to Volant now that the dry filter is available in the new kit for the 4.7L. My truck is an '05 model and previously the only filter available was the cotton one which required oil. But, since I've upgraded that aggressive howl from the intake is back and I love it. I also upgraded to true dual 40's at 2 1/4'' piping with an x-pipe straight off the cat's. Underload both the intake and exhaust sound great together and my low end picked up considerably compared to the trueflow intake and single enhaust.

After all the volant post, I ended up going with the afe stage 2 cai. Combined with my dual in/dual out magnaflow exhaust, its sounds awesome. I really never got on it before, but now, I can do burnouts from hell. Make sure you disconnect the battery for a few minutes. I made the mistake thinking the ecu would learn the new mods. Trust me big difference. Its was actually lagging after the cai, but not no more.

Ill be the odd man out and chime in to say I had a volant on my last truck and was not happy with it. Poor fitment and things missing from the box that should have been there, ordered a couple parts that didn't come in the box and still didn't get them. IMHO it was inexcusable for what they charge.
I had one as well as the true flow........gave them both away and went back to stock.
(one went to a kid with cancer here on campus so i justified the $$ loss)
