Ford has spent a lot of time and money designing their intakes, so to think that you HAVE to change them, is silliness. From the factory, the intakes have a good flow path to the throttle body, as well as already pull cold air from the fender. With the addition of a good flowing medium, as well as thermally insulating the incoming air charge from the ambient engine temperature, and you have a surefire solution. Don't forget to take note about the % increase in power (inverse to incoming air charge temperature). But thats just my two cents...

I ordered the Volant CAI this weekend I looked at a lot thought of K&N filter Charger but I had one in my 03 Mach 1 and I didn't care for it so on all I have read I'm going with Volant CAI an Airaid throttle body spacer and a Magna flow exhaust. I'll post feelings on it next week after it's installed.

I have the Volant and it is okay.I think it is the best aftermarket available.However, if I had it to do over again, I would have modified the stock system.I would cut out a small section of flex tube prior to fender well and install plastic tee and attach a plastic pipe or rubber hose to tow hook area.With feeding cold air from both fender well and tow hook area I think would accomplish everything my Volant does.I would miss the sound the Volant allows when using right foot heavily, but would have saved alot of money.I also had a bad experience with Volant.Besides missing hardware, I have a $129 Ram Air Scoop that will not align to hook up to bottom of intake box.The people at Volant were real nice when I was questioning their product prior to purchase.However, after purchase they will not help me at all.They only have one guy that is a tech that can help and he is either never there or will not return my phone calls.They have POOR business ethics, in my opinion!If buying Volant I would suggest buying locally so the distributor can deal with them and you could return for easy refund, if problems.I also would not recommend the ram air scoop.This scoop could be easily made with hose and clamps for probably less than $10 and would actually fit.Good Luck!

Well I installed my Volant CAI Friday. I am not happy with the fit. The performance on the other hand Was noticable. I installed a Magnaflow catback last week and noticed a little difference, but When I installed the Volant I REALLY Noticed a difference. I just don't like how the fit is I had to pull and streatch everything to make it fit I am thinking of returning it and getting a K&N System.
