Volant Cold Air Intake Review

Volant Cold Air IntakeFrom our official Volant air intake review...

All in all, we like the Volant kit. It looks good, sounds good, drives good, and improves performance. We're extremely confident in telling current Tundra owners that the Volant kit will add power. Like we said in our Tundra air intake guide, the factory air intake is pretty decent. But if you're looking for a little more power, a more aggressive sounding truck (at least on WOT), or if you want to maximize horsepower gains from other accessories, installing a cold air intake makes sense.

Bottom Line: We really like the look and sound of the Volant kit. Installation is a breeze, and engine performance and throttle response were noticeably improved. We like Volant's dry air filter, and we've read a lot of positive user reviews of the product. We do think the instructions could be a little nicer, and we wish they would have come up with a better way to accommodate the factory engine cover, but overall we will recommend this kit. Be sure to shop around before buying, as we found prices ranging from $360 to more than $500. NOTE: After completing this review, we learned that the kit does not seal against the fender completely. Our tests indicate the kit does add power, and we still like the look and sound, but it must be noted that the kit's "fit and finish" is not as nice as we first reported. We're not going to revoke our endorsement because of this issue because the kit does add power - we've proven that thru testing - but make sure you get this kit for discount.

"This unit came with clear instructions and was very easy to install. My only complaint was that it appears to not fit correctly at the fender but this is actually a design element for proper air flow. As with all CAI you need to be aware of your stock orientation on the MAF sensor when you remove it from the stock box. The sound of the engine is greatly improved and can only be described as a \"4 Barrel\" type sound. Also the power increases are subjective but the addition of the sound gives the Gluteus-Maximus Dyno a measurable boost. "
