I'm on the fence for a cold intake , I have a green filter in the stock box, I'd like to run a pipe from the bottom of air box to under bumper like my G. N. had for true cold air like volant mades for non Eco engines, cold air needs. To come from outside, a cold air intake needs true cold air

I didn't have to move anything with mine, the Volant was a perfect fit..

I made my own scoop for mine with junkyard intake parts I found...

Looked under my hood and I'm guessing this is the box they were talking about

Put mine in about 2 months ago and didn't have to remove any boxes. You do remove a bracket from the original intake. Here's a link for the install instructions. It's very easy to do. From what I understand though, if you buy the Volant Kit you're gonna need to get a programmer too. I've noticed it runs a little laggy with just the box so I ordered an Edge Revolution this morning and will install it tomorrow.

I put my K&N CAI 57 series in and noticed immediate power and nice throttle response. It also gives a nice growl when you step on it. I haven't seen any increase or decrease in mileage yet but I haven't had it long enough to tell. I would recommend getting one!

Has anyone tried do this with the stock intake instead of going through the fender?
