Robert - Unfortunately, we have not installed one so we don’t have anything for you. A quick YouTube search revealed nothing.

Hi everybody,

Can anybody help with a video clip of TRD CAI installed so we can compare sounds ?

Thanks!

Willy T - Good comment. We liked the sound too. The gap issue is an easy fix, but that’s all the more reason for Volant to address it themselves.

I just put my Volant on last week. There is indeed a very small gap at the bottom of the seal to the fender well. Anyone with a little mechanical inclination can hit the hardware store for a little foam rubber weather seal and BAM, problem solved..$2.50. I love the Volant. Even if there were no HP gain or gas mileage improvement the sound is so freakin’ awesome I think it’s worth the money ! Oh yeah, it is a little tough getting the screws to mate up for the inlet pipe to the filter housing. Especially the last one. It can be done though…(18v Dewalt impact driver) Again I have to say…LOVE IT.

That engine cover is not going to help cool the engine. The coolant is used for cooling a water cooled motor. You would not want to alter the fan shroud that would affect engine cooling. The only time an engine shroud or cover is used for engine cooling is on and air cooled motor, like your lawn mower engine.

mskw9 - Didn’t know that. Good tip. Thank you. The cover also provides some sound deadening, but that falls in the “useless category” when you’re adding an air intake intended to make the engine louder. However, combined with your point that would make the cover useful.

Tell me, do you have any idea how important the engine cover is to cooling? I’m wondering if older vehicles that don’t have engine covers would benefit from them for cooling purposes…
