Cold air intake

[96redsport]

Anyone use or have heard of anyone using a Volant cold air intake on their tahoes?? How are they?

Volant? Nope, never heard of them.....

Sorry, I know sarcasm isn't nice, but I thought this was just a funny question.

Here's the results of a search of the performance section with "volant" typed in, including a thread titled "The CAI thread".

Never had one, only K&N, but I have heard they're good value for the money.

I have one on my 99. I really like it, quieter than the k&n but you can still hear the difference under full throttle and it uses the stock air intake location from the fender. And the filter is dry so no oiling necessary and it doesn't seem to get as dirty as my k&n did.

Thanks for the input fellas!!!

stick with the k&n FIPK unit. they can prove their results with dyno numbers.

Volant best bang for your buck!

Has a 4in collector biggest out of all of them. MOST important part is that it hooks up to the side hole in your fender and doesn't have heat soak!

Get it and love it! All others are a joke

well let see here. i suck air from the engine compartment and sometimes run 150° intake air temp on hot days and i still have more power then with out it. you know it is just not cold that makes it all work better. i think flow disturbances play the most important type. unless volant has dyno numbers to back up its design i just dont think it is good enough.

Speaking of flow disturbances, how about a throttle body spacer too????

on a vortec no use really the turbulance to atomize fuel better gets smoothed out in the plenum. and the injectors are farther down stream then the TB. there is a company the makes the vmax plenum spacer who produced a dyno sheet claiming 21 hp. however unless you have a raised roof you can not fit a kn fipk and the plenum spacer at the same time. I will try out the spacer one day but need the taller hood first.

I found a K&N for a really great price!!
