I installed the volant with the RAM-Air tube Yesterday and love it! Ram-air tube was a bit of a pain but overall the entire install took about 2 1/2 hours. I lined the inside of the Airbox with Dynamat, but I still feel a slight vibration in the sterring wheel. Like others have mentioned, the included instructions were not as helpful as those on the Volant website. I did a total of 9 0-60 runs prior to the install and after the install. Basically did the first 3 runs on the stock setting, the next 3 runs at level 3 without Volant, then last 3 on level 3 with the Volant. I have a passport G-timer taking times as well and they are pretty close to the Edge. I also have a Magnaflow SIDO. This truck is slug at stock, but I'm very pleased with all the mods working together.

Wasn't anything scientific about it, and I took a few minutes between every run.......took forever

 

wow, thanks for the info.. I will be installing mine tomorrow, and will be sure to make great use of the online instructions.. heard so much bad news abt the ones that come with it.

 

Did you get the Ram-air tube? Its mainly designed for Highway driving, but I do feel a difference at 65 when I hit the gas. I figured I would give it a whirl considering I do alot of HW driving.

Good luck installing it and let us know how it all works out for ya!

 

I think I'll be going with the Volant since I do a lot of offroading.

 

thanks for showing us the numbers. looks like the volant did really show a difference

 

Nice numbers

 

yes I did get the tube. I do a lot of HW driving as well. I will let you know.. wish me luck.

 

Those times are frickin awsome. I deffintly want a Edge AND a Volant!

 

Okay, Stupid question here

The volant ram air tube only works with the volant kit, right?? I have the K&N FIPK kit and would love this feature.

 

Well.....maybe it can, ive seen guys take duct tubbing and run it from the front bumper to the intake and they got 2mpg so maybe it dose work.

 

Good post, thanks for the numbers.

How does it sound? Considering the Volant myself.

Thanks,
Travis

 

wow... it droped an aditional .5sec off your 0-60.. Thats huge... now im really tempted to get one myself..

 

I don't think you guys are actually seeing the whole picture.

He owns an FTX. He is with out a doubt going to see a little more difference in an intake vs all of us.

 

lol Joy kill!

 

I guess I'm dumb...why?
