Default Anyone with MagnaCharger and Volant?

Good Day!

Just curious from those who have this combo, if they have been able to work the Volant tube (the one with the air reservoir hanging down) into the mix somehow. As the system is designed for stock, not supercharged, applications, I imagine that somebody on this side has made things work somehow!

Pics and ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanks

A few people seem to really like the Airaid intake with the Radix; I've seen it and it looks to be a quality kit

I have the Redisigned Volant and Optional Ram air scoop on my truck. I used the Magnacharger tube with the Volant box. It was a tight fit but it worked. The old Volant box fit better but had a smaller box and filter.The ram air tube works just like if the supercharger wasnt there.

That is how the dealer installed my Volant - just the airbox with the Magnacharger tube. have the ram air on order.

Was just wondering if there was anything to be gained by using the Volant tube in place of the Magnacharger tube. Perhaps not.

Thanks for the update!

You can't use the Volant tube because it's got a bend in it. I just replaced my modified factory airbox with an old Volant I had ia the garage. I want to see if the cone filter does any better than an afetrmarket panel filter. I also cut open the front of the Volant box to get fresh air in thru the headlight/grille area. I hope to find out if it works tonight.
