Is there a good reason not to do this? http://www.amazon.com/Volant-15353-...hevrolet|47&Year=2009|2009&newCar=1&carId=001
Go for it... Plenty of hybrid guys have done it and have not only seen mpg gains, but supposedly slight performance gains...

Btw, I'm looking at the differences in engine bays between the HyHoe and Hoe:
Two questions:
1. What is that thing (electronic) that plugs into the tube between the two metal clamps?
2. What is that other plastic thing closer to the motor thats located in front of the pipe in the regular Hoe but is sort of on top and to the side of the pipe on the HyHoe?

I see thanks.
Now do either of those parts (especially the air baffle) connect to the CAI?
I'm asking because on the volant site they specify the previously linked cai for the 07+ 6.0L engine, but I don't want to get it and find out that it doesn't have the proper connections.

the volant will replace the entire tubing from the intake manifold to where it went into the airbox. Then it supplies you with a new tube and new airbox, so all that will go away.
Is your hybrid 07-08 or 09+? There is a difference in the gas versions of these vehicles, where the mass air meter connects to the airbox. On the 09+, its integrated into the tube and requires a different air intake, on the 07-08, its a seperate piece.

no, its not. 09+ had an entirely different air intake where the intake tube had the mass air meter integrated into it. You would have to section out the mass air meter and splice it in, per say, which would sorta be a pain. They do make a kit for the 09+, but im not sure who makes it, how much, and what it entails.

Robbie ... does this help: http://gallery.me.com/soulsea#100038
hmm.. this is interesting. It looks like the mass air meter (the thing between the clamps) isn't integrated into the tube. It might work then, but I could have SWORE differently. Maybe its on certain vehicles???
