steve – Thanks for the info. It definitely sounds like Volant addressed the issue.

I just completed install of the Volant on a 2010 SR5 DC with the 5.7. With reading the reviews it looks like they made an attempt to repair the sealing problem with the fender well. Mine came with a foam (about a 1/2″ with adhesive on one side) to fit on between filter housing and the fender well. I don’t know if the older models had this piece with them. This is 9-2-09 that i completed the install. The noise is definitely noticeable, if you can keep the rpms under 2000 taking off at red lights you barely notice it. Other than that, give it up, The wife is like, “is something wrong with your truck???” It is heck trying to keep this mod from her. After a 200 mile trip, I want to say gas mileage is not hurt, but has not improved yet. I will give it a little more time and see. Thanks for all of the info you guys stick out here for us.

Chris – Good comment – I hope the silicone sealant does the trick.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to this post. The intake that I have is a Volant. I contacted Volant, and they gave me a new air filter. I installed it, left the cover open on it to be sure that I could tell if and when it fell off. One month later, the filter was still on, so I put the lid on. This past weekend, for giggles, I wanted to be extra sure that baby was still on, and sure enough…it fell off. I work off road almost all day, and I’m wondering if this air filter setup doesn’t give the filter enough “bite” were it connects to the air intake tube. It seems that a good month or two of bouncing around is enough to wiggle this thing right off. I’m going to try some RTV silicone this time when I put it back on, hoping that it will give it some tactness to hold on to. I have a funny feeling that I’m going to be putting my stock air intake back on in the next week or so.

Chris – We had the same experience when testing the K&N intake. I think it’s because of the cheap hose clamps favored by these manufacturers.
