There is a huge hole on the right side of the box(facing the engine). That piece wraps around it and keeps the box from vibrating all around.
I agree the directions do suck. |

Does the air intake void your warranty. I heard it does, and I heard it doesn't not sure. |

so hows everyones volant. any quality issues and regarding the filter can you replace it with a K&N one or is it the exact same one. i was showing my dad about how K&N cone filters on their website to filter almost as good as factory filters and he was wondering if the volant comes with a similar type filter. it would help if someone would help out. getting my volant for my bday.
thanks |

thanks | Both the Volant and the K&N are cone filters using the same filter medium. Here's my Volant with a custom lid. You can see the filter.  |

usually double sided tape, or thin foam tape, or just thin foam of some sort between the housing and lid. |

Does the Volant Intake for the 3.6L also fit on the 2.8L engines? And where is the best place to pick one up? |
