Volant Intake System for TFSI

Looking at the size of the silicone hose, it is longer than other air filters and I would presume have quite a bit of flexibility in it.

Yes I would think it should be able to flex with that tapered hose, on the twintake the pipes are joined so close together with silicone tube that it would prevent flexing there anyway, so I imagine they flex only around the area where filters sit, im sure (hope) the Volant does the same.

Emailed my mate to let him know its on its way to him (got notified of shipping 20 minutes ago!), should be with him in around 5 days and with me around 10-12 days later, just gotta be patient now (not one of my strengths usually to be honest  :grin: :grin:)

I'll be interested to see how you get on with this device - I like the almost OEM appearance.

My only issue is that there's nothing I can see in the design to detach the device from the engine's movements, especially as the intake appears to attach to the gearbox end of the head. Any movement of head will be somehow transferred to the main shrouding.

IM not sure if its actually anchored there as on the picture in post above it does not look to be anchored to me?, not sure what that is for?
