Volant Intake System for TFSI

[donovan2123]

I have been looking for alternative intakes for the tfsi. I am after somthing that looks OEM and isn't to loud and came across this Volant intake system which is produced in the USA.

Now I have been in contact with the guys who make the kit to find out more information and this is what they said:

 Gen 2 = 825cfm

Efficiency 99.97 % @.001 Micron

150,000 mile Warranty

The PowerCore filter is the only Maintenance Free (No Oiling, No Cleaning) Dry Filter on the Planet and Volant has Global Exclusivity to this filter, made by Donaldson.

Here’s a install image of our Kit – Sorry the Engine Cover is not included.

I then asked a about the maf housing and they say it has been correctly scaled which means it shouldn't cause any fuel trim issues which is a bonus.

So anyone interested in knowing more information about this intake they said on a standard car it gave 17bhp and min 20lbft torque. These figure may be better in the UK with our weather.

WOW, love the look of that, very clean and the intake diameter is sick.......

That looks like a K04 or a K03 with a DV relocation, assuming the space age looking pipe work running down the side of the engine cover piping?

How much are these bad boys?

It's an Americanism. Noise pipe or something not a relocated DV.

Retail on the kit is $390.00

Export Cost is $234.00

Shipping USPS (Us Mail) = $75.00

however he has already mentioned a much better price can be had depending on order size to uk.

Of course that depends on numbers. Picture is of there gen 1 but gen 2 has a beter free flowing filter.

It must be dv relocation as definitely isn't ko4

Not sure why all ours are different design.

The intake looks great, i like that fact that the pipe is tapered.

Whats the export cost all about?

I might ask my mate to get me one and send it over.

[donovan2123]

There will be a wait as there not available yet until start of April. Hence I do not have one yet to try out. However if there is interest then costs will be less. I have a feeling the export cost is what they will charge if a few are bought instead of just one.

It's the noise pipe fitted to all LHD k03 cars, and K04 LHD cars also.

But why is it a different design to the RHD one? Serves the same purpose does it not?

RHD cars don't have it, the steering wheel is in the way, instead of this pipe you guys have the driver screaming

I really like that.  Looks very OEM, no doubt its nice and quiet, it incorporates two cold air feeds: slam panel and headlight, also like the tapered pipe design.

What's the filter size?  I'm guessing from the diameter of the pipe entering the box, its a monster

Pipe on this picture is for the DV which you can spot to the left of the carbonio, the triangular hard pipe is for the noise machine on LHD cars.
