Volant Powercore CAI

Well fellas, after some hard thought out research I made a choice for my new CAI. I was gonna go back with the AEM Brute Force like I had on the goat, but then found out that Volant made a dry filter unit now. I had a Volant CAI for a '01 Dodge which seemed like a good kit. I ordered the Volant Powercore CAI which is a dry filter that does not need any maitenance for like 75,000. miles. It is also suppose to have better performance than the original cone filter Volant set up. I dont know about not changing or cleaning an air filter for that long. I know I won't even have the truck for that long with my M.O. It is suppose to ship out today, I'll let ya'll know about the quality of it when I get it installed.

Here is a link from the Volant website. Its pretty cool. Check it out.

VOLANT

Just wait and buy the air filter kit for the twin turbo kit you`re going to install later.

I got my Volant CAI yesterday. I have been sick, plus there is alot of house renovations/projects taking place. Hopefully sometime next week I'll slap it on there.

I opended the box and looked at the whole deal. It looks okay and everything. The black intake tube and box appeared to have been dusty. Directions? It looks like a parts list and not directions. I'll figure it out. Hopefully the fit is good. Unlike the past I had a Volant intake that didnt fit so great.

So far, I'd have to say AEM may have been the better route to take here. I'll see how the install goes with just the diagram. I'll keep ya posted.

Chris – at the end of the day all CAI’s are more alike than different. I like the AEM best, but K&N and Volant are good units too.

Get her installed, dialed-in and you will be just fine…Oh, and then move on the next Mod…

Yea, I still should have went with my gut instinct...AEM. I'm sure the Volant will do fine once I get her hooked up. With the new powercore dry filter I'm anxious to see what she sounds like when I get in her a little.

I'm in the market for a CAI. Thinking AEM but your take on the Volant may sway me. Post something when you get her slapped on.
