That hose coming off the exhaust manifold, you can just take it off and throw it away or throw it in a box and save it. You dont need it, unless you have emissions then youll have to put your stock intake back on. It wont pass having that type of setup FYI.
But never the less. looks good. im a firm believer in the Volant intakes for the TBIs, that is if you can afford one. Great gain over stock, pulls in all cold air etc etc..
I bought one brand new, used it for a couple hundred miles, loved it to death, then sold it because of the whipple and their intake is different. Then ended up buying another one since i loved the first one so much.. so that ones chillin in a box until i need it
heres an old picture..
excuse those crappy manifolds and such, i told you that pictures old. haha

thanks atomichoe, i was wondering about that hose... glad i kept all the stuff for the stock setup. im gonna have to get my inspection done like this week.
out of curiosity though, what exactly does it do? im under the impression that when sitting at idle is recirculates the air back in the system... is that about right?

Are you asking about the Volant here? The Volant is just a CAI.

helps keep the emissions low by taking the hot air off the manifolds and into your air intake.. dont ask lol Dumb as hell, but its always something with those emission and **** ass California laws..

It's not for emissions, it keeps the internal baffle closed to not pull in so much cold air when it's first started. When the manifold heats up the hot air comes up that tube and closes the baffle.

yess huhhh, people with volants wont pass emissions/smog inspections if they live in California and other states and dont have that tube hooked up..
