I have the Volant intake installed on my 4.6L SCAB 4x2. I have had it for about a month or so and love it.
It fits like a glove, purrs like a kitten and looks cool. Plus I like the design of the enclosed box for the filter. I think it is a better application to combat dirt and dust from getting in filter. Just my 2 cents though.
Bottom line, I would recommend the Volant. No fitting issues, no check engine lights......I love it.

On their website they have an accessory snorkel kit for the intake system that attaches to the bottom of the filter enclosure and runs a tube down to somewhere in front grille area. I wonder if it would cause a problem running it in the snow or through water. Seems like the setup you have without the snorkel is the way to go.

interesting - no I didnt get that. I bought mine from Proficient Performance of the web. They did not offer that accessory for the Ford at that time.
Not sure what problems though it would cause in snow and rain, maybe someone else on here is more knowledgable on that one or has one

Paid $300 - I think they are running a free shipping special right now on it.

will cold air really help the exhaust tone out??? I already have a Flowmaster muffler, but wouldn't mind it being a little louder. Also, what about the Airaid Throttle Body Spacer? Will that mate fine to the Volant Cold Air Intake? I found the Hyperformanceauto retail shop right here in Arlington, so I'll probably go and talk to them in the morning. Also, did anyone have any mpg gain with the kit? Just curious.

I just bought the Volant Intake from the guys at Hyperformanceauto today...bought it from the store direct, not over the internet. It installed really easy, the hardest part was removing the stock intake. Can't wait to see any gains that I might get.
