An important function of your engine's operation is the induction of air. Colder air is more dense and allows for more fuel and more power. Volant air intake systems feature a high-velocity venturi filter adapter which provides a smooth transition through the MAF sensor into the intake tube for a much needed airflow improvement over the factory rubber tubing and resonator box. Volant's Cold Air box is larger than the factory unit and incorporates a larger opening to collect a higher volume of colder ambient air.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/Breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract, lowering the octane rating and leaving harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports that result in decreased power.

The innovative design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.
