I'd be interested in this.

Does anybody know what kind of noise level they give off if any?

Be good if we can get if for under £200!

I'm going to buy one I think and test it and report back and then can run the group buy

Do it Jedi, I am happy with mine, I am sure you will be with yours, the Gen1 does not have fixing point (might be better), your choice......you pays your money..............

Good luck with it (It's a BIG box BTW)

Was the postage cost per item, or are there some efficiencies to be had by combining an order? I could be tempted to combine an order if there are worthwhile savings. PM me if you'd prefer.

ive been in contact with volant direct about purchasing a batch of the gen2 intakes.

my plan is... im buying 1 to test and if its no good i'll just sell it on and end of story.

If its good and matches the itg / forge on logging then i'll run a group buy with volant.

I'm going to ask them about people paying separately and posting direct and also about paying in batch and sending a pallet to me and then I'll distribute in the UK.

Feel free to start making a list of names.. or I might start a new group buy thread once i've got one to test.

Sounds like a plan Mr Jedi  :happy2:

If the results are good from the logging session, I would be well up for one of these.

Hopefully we'll lose the squealing noise  :confused:

Will be watching with interest to see how you get on with the testing, still can't used to the sound of my ITG so its this of the Twintake.

you might be better with the new enclosed itg. its not really any louder than the stock engine cover air box.

Thought about that but I believe it's another £200 ish (correct me if I'm wrong) to convert mine to the canister one. Could just as well get the Volant one (and extra bit for my ED30's 04) for that money plus a bit. May well sell my ITG anyhoo so one system will pay for the other.

No squeeling from the Volant intake  :happy2:, almost 2k covered since fitting mine, it has made the chatter noise a few times (It sounds like a turkey with an air line up its backside) thats the best description i can give, only done it 3 or 4 times other than that just some induction roar (only hear it with stereo off and at low revs as at higher revs the exhaust covers it).

Not sure If jedi has bought one yet, but I shall be at the JKM RR day on 27th so those who want to see it can do, perhaps JKM could log it while its on the RR?, maybe its possible?.

Personally speaking for £200 I dont think you can do much better, but ETTO
