Volant cold air intake?

Just got mine in but where can I get pictures or a video of it being installed? I'm having trouble with the air sensor part... I have no clue what to do there

The MAF? it should only go on one way. look for an arrow on the MAF.

It is on the right hand side of the tube right neat the throttle body . It comes with a rubber gasket, you will need to use it to make sure it seals correct.

I have one as well and love it, I cut down the drone noise by quite a bit by lining the inside of the box with Dynamat. Helps tremendously. I also made a ram air tube using dryer vent hose and a cpl plumbing adapters, works very good, I have a cpl pics just click on my photos.

Interesting idea. Thanks!

Do you think it actually does anything performance wise?

The only problem I'm having right now installing the volant cai is that idk what to do with my stock mass air flow sensor thing? Am I supposed to use it or do I even need it at all? And was I supposed to get a new one with the volant one?

It screws into the drivers side of the intake tube near the throttle body!
