I just installed the Volant intake in my 3.6 and wow!
Definitely notice the bump in power, and the throttle response alone was worth the upgrade.
Slight change in tone, little bit deeper (not really any louder) and takes out some of the stock 'rasp' nastiness.
There is a slight drone around 1700-1800rpm, but its nothing annoying like a rice burner.
Acceleration is faster throughout, but one thing i really noticed was at highway speeds, i'd slow to 90km/h and give'er up to 140 and i was impressed with the pull the car had.
I was just sort of fluttering the gas pedal and oh man, did it sound great.
I was going to write up a DIY for the install but i just noticed there is already one in the caddy FAQ and it has everything needed i think... plus i couldnt wait to install it, so i did it in the freezing cold dark friday night.
i didnt drive much this weekend, and when i did, i was driving pretty hard so im not sure what MPG gains it achieved, but im going to drive normal this week and see what improvements it has.
I did get 12L/100km while driving hard, and i normally get about 11.4l/100km driving sensibly so im hoping it drops to about 11 or high 10's then when i get the summer tires back on and dont have cold starts/idle for 5 min it drops to low 10L/100km
i recommend this 100%, and i bought it from BigDaddyCaddy on ebay and i would recommend him 100% aswell.
Absolutely love upgrade...
