Volant Cool Air Intake

Volant Cool Air Intake
I put on a volant cold air instake yesterday. It seems add a little power, although 3" dual exhaust added more.
One odd thing is that sometimes right when I start from a stop I get a weird virbation (almost a growl) that sounds like something is vibrating against something else. I can't see anything that is close to rubbing on something. If can't figure it out, I might send it back...
One last note...
The Volant kit was missing some parts that were listed on the contents (two screws and the oil breather nipple) and the oil breather hose is too short.
Looks good, but I am not too impressed overall.

RE: Volant Cool Air Intake
You are not the first person I've heard complaining about missing parts with the Volant Brand..This should be evidence that Volant is not the brand I would choose over K&N.
As far as the rumble..
Make sure none of the pipes are touching each other or anything else..
Sometimes the little hatch covers in the back and door vibrate...I used small stips and pieces of black felt with the peel and stick backing in several spots to buffer it...Also the cup holder vibrates a little too if it's empty.
These are all naturally the low frequency resonace of stuff in the car..Just hunt them down and figure a way to keep them from buzzing.

I think you actually recommended the K&N, but over you good advice I went the Volant because it was enclosed.
I should have listened...
