Hey Yeah the intake is pretty good huh??? Well i have had mine since like 2007 and its awesome i swapped it out the filter with an k&n and its great..mines a v6 though so i was able to get hooked up with it from them there cool people and i actually got lucky and became good friends with them...since mine is a v6 we had to piece it together. i bellieve my box is off a tundra n the tube is a taco.. and what i did to the front hole since it is for a ram air scoop they made for the tacos is a put a duct on it so it can be my ram air since the duct volant has doesnt fit on the t4r's...but either way to each there own.. i was gonna put some pics but i cant find them ..but yeah it sounds great too..especially with the full exhaust i have. its awesome!!!

I've had a Volant for about 3 years. First I thought it was saving me some additional gas mileage. After countless times calculating my mileage at the pump, I don't think so now.

I do think it give better performance when you need to jump on it though. I have a CAT back exhaust as well.

Probably do just as good with a K&N filter replacement in the stock box.

I've had my Volant CAI for about six months now. I agree that there is virtually no difference in mpg. The power is definitely there though and the sound is awesome. I was flipping engine codes on the highway, but hopefully that is now worked out. I do recommend it.

I was thinking...I wonder if the Volant oil is thinner or less tacky vs the K&N so maybe that is why the Volant was giving you trouble? Maybe it was sucking more of it through vs it staying on the filter??

I never had an issue with the K&N so we will see.
I actually use the K&N spray oil on my volant filters it's easier to cover the filter and haven't had any issue since with the maf the volant oil is very thin no issues using the k&n oil on volant filters at all so I just buy the k&n I also have k&n filters same size I use in the volant when the volant filter is dirty and just swap between 8 filters o have but I also have a volant intake in 5 different 3rd gens and my 07 sport 4th gen as well

IMO, no. 'Yota engineers had a basic CAI design on the V8's stock. The hydrocarbon filter in the upper lid of the air box restricts it, however.

That activated charcoal has long since stopped doing what it was supposed to do. Get a utility knife, cut the filter out of the frame, drop a K&N in there, and save yourself a few hundred bucks.
