Well, since I don't have a tune for it or a good filter, none.

The only way I can think of describing the stock filter is: Imagine getting the breath knocked out of you and feeling like you cant suck anymore air in. I need some suggestions as how to get rid of the vibration noises. I have already tried tightening all screws/bolts/clamps. Any suggestions? I was thinking of possibly wrapping the tube with a tape of some kind. Anything you guys can think of would be appreciated. I would like to put it back on this weekend.
Have you had some some rev it up wile you look at the intake and see whats moving. I cant imagine it making any vibration. Did you tight bolt in bottom of the box under filter? Ive had mine in since dec and no issues. Do you have a picture of your volant cai with filter installed ?

Yeah, I even tried adding a bigger washer with a rubber washer below it so there would be more surface area securing the Box. I guess I will have to reinstall it and have some one rev it up and try to locate the problem. Other than the noise I LOVE the intake. I couldnt believe the response and power it added to my truck. I never had any lean codes with it either. Hope I can figure it out.

What is the advantage to the Powercore filter, other than the 100,000 filter life?
I'm getting a Volant and need to choose the filter.

Well I put my Volant power core on today. Then 10 minutes later put my truck back to stock. Absolute junk my 4.6 would not run. It was smoking black and would not idle. I am sending it back.

I would not buy.
