Volant Intake-REVIEW

Well got my kit...thanks to the guys on here for the kickass deal!

ok total review...just my $.02 and PLEASE realize i own a shop..i build bikes/motor/tune for a living..im not some 18yr old kid, nor some 60yr old compunerd. check out my website if you think we are not skilled enough (EDR Performance - Online)

Ok here goes...

Price: Great from Socal
Shipping: "ok" took longer than i thought, but they did communicate after i asked on here

Looks: KILLER! really nice looking system, HOWEVER for this kinda $$ the plastic intake tube is cheasy! Should be alloy at least IMO

Sound: Amazing..LOVE IT. i think too loud for whiny guys that like saabs and maybe not performance. but i think great

Butt Dyno: nice. I would guess about 15rwhp..definetly noticeable. feels sharper on roll ons...maybe...maybe a bit less right off the line..but freeway much better passing. Honestly folks i aint making it up..YOU WILL NOTICE the added benefit in hp/tq!!! MUCH more so than an exhaust will make for sure...

Only bitch:
Fit. It was "ok" again, this is NOT a cheap ebay/china kit, so i expected it to fit better than the $99 one i bought for my hummer..but it didnt.

1. The bolt that holds box down inside, under filter they supply is WAY too long (luckily we put it on in our shop and we got a million metric bolts)

2. The fit against the hole in fender well not matched up good.

3. The oem top cover over manifold does not go down all the way now, the cut out for the intake tube is not lined up with the intake tube that volant uses.

overall i'd give this kit

9/10 for performance
8/10 for looks
6/10 for fit (again, taking into consideration the price)

Hope this helps folks..
