installed Volant CAI today.

medic717 · February 11, 2016

Finally got around to installing my volant CAI on my 5.3 Sierra today. Easy install probably about 45 mins start to finish. Seems to have a little better throttle response afterwards and added a nice little growl on takeoff. Otherwise quite while driving. Nice little addition for no more than it cost.

Very nice!

Can't decide between this and an S&B...

I understand there was a lot of options but I found a thread on here where they put them all to the dyno and volant was the best combination of power and torque number improvements. Also they put up the same numbers with the stock box and the airaid MIT with an aftermarket filter in place... I just found a great deal from auto anything and pulled the trigger on the volant.

Ordered from autoanything.com. 263.49 shipping and all. That was with it 20 percent off. It was the cheapest I could find.

The Volant is a true cold air system!Thats why I unloaded my Airaid and went with a Volant?The Airaid sucks hot air and is worst that the stock system!!

Is the part number 15553?

Did you install the power core one?

I went with the pro 5 with the oiled filter. I have had it before and it last forever just needs cleaning from time to time. I personally had rather clean and oil the filter than have to replace it later down the road.

Is the part number 15553?

My part number was 15553 on the paperwork

powercore is a 100K filter fyi

I did notice that but I think it's more restrictive than the oiled if I understood correctly. I think it all comes down to a preference tho

I do not doubt that the Volant is a good CAI but maybe you had something wrong with your Airaid MIT. 99% of Airaid owners have reported great results and I haven't read of any issues other than paying a lot for just a tube .
