Lol I'm still using a regular paper filter and I did the gotts intake mod. I never got a new filter because I didn't want to use an oiled one, but couldn't find a dry filter that was reusable.

 

Dry element filters that work in our generation trucks that are dry element filters

AEM AE-09045
aFE Pro Dry S 11-10004
Airaid 861-345

 

Sweet thanks. I might get the AEM one, seeing it's the cheapest from what I can find of them all.

 

Afe is the best. I have had all 3 and the AEM i never even used. I promptly returned it. It is made extremely cheap.

 

Also one of the more expensive ones though

 

You get what you pay for.

 

Yeah that's true. But does what you pay for pay for itself in a reasonable amount of time from not having to buy paper filters

 

Depends on how often you have to replace a paper filter. I end up having to buy 4 paper filters a year. So to me it was a no brainer.

 

Thats true.
For me, paper filters make more sense. I drive ~7000 miles/year, so a $10 filter every 3-4 years would take at least 18 years to make up for the cost of a dry filter.

 

Yea, Volant sucks air from the inner cavity like all the other CAI's do. The only way your getting to the actual wheel well is if you make your own sleeve or extension. Which isn't hard to do. Granted, it's more difficult with the Volant as they have a wider more rectangular opening than most. That said, IF you extend the Volant properly, you'll have more air on demand if needed. But, you don't need it lol. With the Volant box, first you modify the inner fender to except the the larger Volant opening. Like so, -





Then you either modify the other side by cutting that as well or make a sleeve that tapers down to the second opening hole giving you access to the fender-well. Which is what I did for the Volant. I wanted to keep the outer circle a circle. So I could also run my factory box w/gotts mod and extension as well. I 'm not sure what you meant by posting "Even the closed box Volant doesnt run to the fenderwell so you will still be pulling air from the engine compartment" because none of them do. You would have to modify the Volant just as you would anything else.
