"The installation was easy until connecting the breather hoses. The new locations of the hose barbs coming out of the intake pipe were offset about 2 inches from the stock pipe. I feel a power increase at higher speeds but from a stop the acceleration feels the same. However I do feel the engine responds faster when you get on it. I haven't checked to see if I get better gas mileage yet but I suspect a small increase. Personally I believe just replacing the air filter with a high flow filter would have been the way to go because you would save a lot of money and I think the result would be about the same."

"I installed this, along with an exhaust, to try and get better mileage. I haven't noticed any increase in mileage. I have noticed a better take-off and throttle response time when I have floored it. It does not lie when it says increase in horsepower."

"It took me a couple of hours to install the cold air intake even tho there were no instructions, just a diagram. Had to take the OEM battery box off, and the intake fit very tight. The really good part is the intake pulls air from the front and thru the fender. I also ordered the "sock" to keep bugs and water out. Actually was an easy install and works great - looks great."

I have noticed an increase in power and the system sounds good, but if you are trying to get better mpgs... buy a 4 cylinder truck or car."

"The Volant is a great unit at a good price. The new Donaldson filter is far superior to the old cotton/synthetic filters used by others. It filters better than the other filters and allows better flow without clogs. Even the military uses the Donaldson filters. The tube and the intake box are built of what appears to be 1/4" plastic. Nice and rigid. The install was easy and the instructions were very easy to follow. The fit is a little off. The intake doesn't quite line up properly with the fender hole and there is a small gap in the lower front edge of the hole. You can use the tube from the stock intake to line it up better. The cover is a thin aluminum with a huge Volant name on it. Would have preferred something thicker and with a smaller advertising on the top, but I guess it's OK. Engine sounds great with the intake on. You can hear the intake and it even made my Flowmaster exhaust louder. No loss of low end power and it runs awesome with the Volant on the truck."

"The kit is well made and fit perfectly. It looks like it could have come with the truck. With this kit I picked up about 1 MPG and with the Magnaflow cat back I picked up about 1-2 MPG. Any increase in intake noise is not noticeable with the exhaust. The truck now run in 4 cyl mode sooner and longer. IMO a good package for the 6.0 chevy motor."

"I recently purchased an 08 titan and definitely wanted to make some adjustments. The Volant CAI was a fairly easy installation and the sound is exactly what I expected. Roars when you get on the gas, but quiet when you are cruising. I also had Volant on my old Nissan Frontier and wasn't dissappointed with it either. There was also an increase of about 10-15% in mpg. Don't forget the recharge kit for the filter."

"I've had the Volant intake on my 2005 Dodge Durango 5.7 HEMI for about a week now and love it. The throttle response has greatly improved and I really feel an increase in power. The look and fit is perfect and really feel at ease knowing I have a box instead of an open filter element. The only thing I have to complain about is the direction for installation are horrible. I had to use the directions from the K&N website to figure it out. All Volant offers is a single diagram."

"The concept is valid - more air in to the engine equals greater output, and this system makes use of that concept. I have the extra "cold air scoop" which runs next to the radiator and pulls in air from the grill. But do not be fooled about the advertised HP gains, they are NEVER what the manufactures advertise. I know because my father has his own shop with a dyno. My brothers and I are always using the thing to test add on's and improvements. NO AIR INTAKE adds the HP the manufacture claims (most notably K+N) but I can tell you it does add a very small amount of HP. Any addition is good for the engine, as the engine works less to make the same speed, and therefore you save gas. On a stock engine expect a few extra HP - my highly modified engine gained 3 HP..."

"After reading reviews, I went with the Volant for the closed box design and the addition of the Cold Air system. The installation directions were not detailed but provided a guide. Installation was less than an hour due to some confusion with a hose that had no home. After some investigation, it was found that this hose (differential release hose) just needed to be tied down to someplace safe (I tied it to my AC lines). Otherwise, the Volant sounds great and have seen a 2 MPG improvement (mostly city driving) and would hope to see more on long hwy trips. As far as power increases, I have noticed a slight increase in acceleration but have no true data to back this claim. Pricing at Autoanything.com was the best that I could find as well."

"Seemingly well made product, except for wrong size throttle body gasket. Unit has clear instructions and the install quick and easy. I bought this unit instead of buying ridiculously expensive OE replacement. Truck seems to be a bit more responsive to throttle, but the noise is intolerable. I tow, so I'm into the throttle a lot and the noise in the cab is over the top. There's some sound dampening material in my futurre."

"I installed the Volant Cold Air Intake on my 2007 Tundra Crewmax 5.7 a week ago. The install was easy but the actual fit of the intake wasn't the best. The intake just would not fit properly to have a good seal against fender cut out (Sucking hot air from engine bay). I was really after gaining extra miles per gallon since my truck has been lifted 3” with 20” wheels & 33” Toyo Mud Tires my Hwy mpg dropped from the 19mpg-13mpg. The larger tires etc throws off the factory mpg figs but I figured that I am averaging about 1.5-2 additional mpg. At first start up the sound was noticeable immediately, when cruising the noise is not too noticeable but under heavy acceleration it screams! My main concern it the loss of low to mid-range torque. When accelerating the initial throttle response is a little sharper but from around 2000-3500 Rpm engine seems to bog a little. Once over 3500-4000Rpm it seems to run a little stronger. Overall I am not sure if product was worth the money I guess I was expecting more for all the hype!. Hope this helps!"
