Hey what did you do to your modded air box?

Go the cheapest route! Spend that rest of ur money on something else. I sold my k&n and bought a used spectre and still had money left over lol.

My Volant actually fits pretty perfectly...the holes on the top are a smidge off, but not enough that I can't get it to line up and tighten down. I've had it on there since 04 or 05 now and it's held up great. Before that I had a K&N FIPK which also fit well and performed exactly the same as the Volant according to my butt-o-meter.

I like the way this looks, really clean and I'm sure that it works just as good if not better than my Volant. I'm a fan of the AirRaid tube/Dry flow style drop in filter also.

*EDIT* ...just noticed that you're missing a clip on that radiator cover

Let's see those before and after dyno graphs please, and play nice No need for the "don't know where he came up with that" kind of statements. We're not here to call each other out.
