I found a place that has avery good price and free shipping, but I dont see the optional scoop you're talking about. Also I saw someone mention a ram air kit???? I still dont see anyone chiming in about the vararam!! THANKS!!!

 

I just checked Tbyrne and he has a better price but how much is S&H?? I'm out in South Louisiana 70391.

 

Alright, didnt volant just change their box design not too long ago b/c it wasnt performing like it was supposed to?? I just checked their website and I cant find an intake for our trucks (99-05) with the 5.3!! So are all the ones Tbyrne selling old models??

 

Exactly my point. The same as the stock box except for a smoother air tube.
Unless you get the scoop for an extra $100++.

K&N been around for a long time and has been proven to make HP. Not so sure the volant has actually made any power.

K&N has been proven to make power, especially at start up and in cold weather. When the outside temp rises and so does engine temp, just not how effecient the metal shield with a rubber seal is at selaing against hot air entering into the intake charge.

ALSO, the new volant has redigned tube and LARGER box. If you look in the Jan 05 issue of Chevy High Performance, you can see that the new Volant outperformed the old one as well as the new Vararam in terms of track statistics.

If they were trying to maximize the power of this SS, why didn't they attempt to use the K&N? I mean, if they thought it was that good, I'm sure they would have used it.

 

youre so very right, volant only sucks up cold air from the fender,kn when the engine is hot it sucks up hot air , not good

 

Another question, I see what the Volant comes with (box, filter, tube) but what does the Vararam come with??

 

Ofcourse it did. The old style volant lost HP, didn't it?

 

Just ordered mine, great deal.

 

I got Speed Inc to make me a custom one.........
