Nice write up!
Thanks for the #'s, wonder if an "elbow" on the lower port helps Int. temps. too!

I think we all wish we knew for sure. I've read everything from it can't be run without a tune to it flows too well to there's a bad batch of filters. Devius put the Powercore on his NISMO intake and threw a code... That's ridiculous. The bottom line is the Volant is a good intake if you're willing to put up with the hassle of installing the damn thing, but do not run the Powercore. The exact reason the Powercore causes problems is not known.What is the problem with the Powercore air filter?
^some info.. http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f8/intake-install-then-ses-light-57292/What is the problem with the Powercore air filter?
^the extra gasket is acting as a spacer too, changing the meters' reads; no boost here so "piss" tight is not needed....I used 2 gaskets on my MAF and tightened the piss out of it..
^...Devius has a similar setup to my truck (minus the tuner) and when he put the Powercore on his NISMO intake, it threw a code. That eliminates and issue with Volant clamps, connectors, breather tube, MAF sensor location, etc. and basically narrows it down to the Powercore filter... Repeatedly resetting the computer should definitely not be necessary.
Oh it bolts in... You just have to use Herculean force to get it to line up... And not put the horns where they (Volant) tell you too.i always hear that volant is a good cai, but it is bs how much you have to do to get it to fit. you'd think the people who make it would give a crap about their customers and make the necessary changes so it is truly a bolt on item.
^+1..I'll continue to update as I get more time on the new intake. So far, I am pleased with the outcome of the intake. It did what I primarily wanted, quiet down the asthma sound of the K&N.
Oddly enough, I was contemplating selling the Volant and getting an INJEN. Only thing I don't like is the metal intake tube. Aluminum gets hot. Defeats the purpose of a CAI. It is a very nice looking and apparently well engineered system though.Thanks for updating. I have been back and forth between volant and injen. The QA at volant is making me lean towards Injen
If you get the injen Amsoil has a dry filter made for it that is an exact replacement of the oiled filter that comes with the injen. Here is the link for the dry filter from amazon: Amazon.com: Injen Technology X-1022-BB 5" AMSOIL Ea Nano-Fiber Black and Blue Air Filter: AutomotiveI like the look of the Injen plus the fact it FITS the truck. I am leaning towards Injen with AEM filter and call it a day. Instead of cussing and screaming trying to get the volant in.
Thanks for that link. I had a Injen in my truck until I switched to Amsoil High Performance oil. I bought the Amsoil air filter for my stock air box and re installed it. I will probably buy another Injen now that they have the new Amsoil filter out for it. :goodjob: :fantastic:If you get the injen Amsoil has a dry filter made for it that is an exact replacement of the oiled filter that comes with the injen.
