Oh man, I can't take the drone.
 

So my Volant intake has the most brutal drone. I can't take it. I'm either going to find a way to limit the drone or get rid of it completely. Or I'm just going to have to sell it and go with a different intake system completely. I was wondering if anyone had some successful or even just good ideas on how to get rid of it. I would really appreciate any advice that anybody has to fix it. I'm also looking for a new intake system completely. I'm leaning so far toward the AF1 and a Troyer tune to go with it. Any advice on that issue is good too.

3.5" AF1 + Troyer tunes FTW!

I have an 06' 5.4L screw, have volant and edge EVO combo , only hear drone when i go in to WOT

AF1 and Troyer tunes. you wont regret it.

Try this
 

I had the same problem with an S&B CAI. What I did to reduce the drone was to run it without the top cover on the filter enclosure. If I remember correctly your intake has an enclosure around the filter and not open like the K&N systems, for example. When I removed the top my drone dropped off a lot. I still had some at about 2k but it was not bad.

Hope this helps,

This is gonna sound stupid but what does FTW mean?

FTW= for the win

I went through the samething with my S&B, its your Edge that causing the drone. Return to stock to make sure. One solution is talk to Bill here I pretty sure he can send you a tune to fix this. I went the other route, I got a Troyer tune and dont have any drone any more.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm currently packing everything up to move to Washington so I'm too tied up to check that stuff for now. I'll let you know as soon as I try you're ideas.

K&n Cai
 

I have a K&N and a CORSA EXHAUST with a SCT tune and no DRONE issues here.

Sounds like the air box is not securely attached(my problem).

yup, the edge cuased my K&N to drone pretty bad. Now that i have custom tunes, theres no drone, it just roars.

I'm running the 3.5" AF1 w/ Troyer Tunes and mine drones pretty bad at certain rpm's.

I still have stock exhaust and have not done my data logging yet though.

The performance gains are well worth minor annoyance of the drone.

Same set up here and I had some minor droning (actually in the mountains it droned pretty good on grades) when I had a single pipe cat back system even after the dyno. Just switched to a dual X set up and haven't heard any droning since. It seemed even to have reduced the roar from the intake. Only on very heavy throttle does the AF1 make much noise now.

Good to know. When my money situation permits, I'll be going with the Dynatech LT's and high flow cats and Magnaflow SIDO Catback system that seems to be most peoples favorite on here.
