Volant CAI with PowerCore Filter Owners....
I just got my second Volant CAI for the H3 today (1st one was for the I-5 their mistake). I'm pretty sure they sent the wrong PowerCore Filter for the Alpha application. It is not nearly as big as one I saw on off-road.com and the Volant drawing that comes in the box even shows it to be a bigger filter! Can anyone who has this CAI with the PowerCore Filter on an Alpha PLEASE snap a pic for me so I can see what others have? I already called their tech guy and he is acting like it's no big deal and even said the one I think should be in the kit won't fit which is WRONG! My tape measure doesn't lie!!:rolleyes: The one I got is only 6" diameter but the one I should have got is 6" fluted out to 8".
Here is the link that shows install by off-road.com http://www.off-road.com/trucks4x4/ar...24470&pageID=2 Pic from the article... http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/6...rectfilter.jpg Here is a pic of mine.... http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/2189/dsc01679b.jpg |

This will be the last Volant product I purchase based on their horrible customer service! |
the I-5 and the v8 can use the same filter. The OEM filters are the same.

Do you think that the $370 is worth the extra 1.1 mpg gain?

I found a site that has it for 310 shipped

I hope so, but I need to get the correct filter so I can drive it first! My biggest goal with the CAI, Magnaflow and Flashpaq is more power. I told the wife it was for better fuel mileage......:D I think overall the box design and the PowerCore Filter option make it as good or better than other kits I have looked into. If they didn't have that Donaldson PowerCore as an optional filter I might have gone another route alltogether. Those filters are really the best you can buy in my opinion. Also, you can buy them cheaper than $370 because I only paid $354 for mine shipped. And by the way, the correct filter will be here on Friday hopefully.......:rolleyes: |
Update; finally got the correct filter for the 5.3L and it sure is bigger! See for yourself....
