Default volant ram air intake

Anyone have any first hand experience with this product? I'm thinking of buying the ram air tube atachment for my volant intake. Any notisable difference? Is it worth the $125? Thanks for your help.

This is just my 2 cents worth but you probably could make it for a lot less. I believe the Volant airbox has a round opening on the bottom for the air supply, right? Get some flexible a/c duct (3" or 4") and run it down to the bumper. Use a rectangular a/c register for the scoop, mount it in the opening next to the passenger side fog light. Would only cost about $30. I made a ram air set up like this, I'm using the stock intake right now with a K&N drop in filter and this ram-air mod. I have an Ultimate PD intake tube and lid on the way, should really help. You can see my ram-air set up on www.fullsizechevy.com , it's under the "performance" forum there, look for "Y2K Silverado's ram-air". This is just an idea!

graygmc: An a/c register is the wall or floor vent you would see in your house, office, etc.. I got it from Home Depot, it's about 5"x9" and has a 4" round back where I connected the 4" a/c duct. It works great as a scoop, it makes a big difference over just connecting some a/c duct and having it hang down.
