I have the ramair, it runs out where the toe hook is; actually the toe hook is removed
then it is placed inside the snorkal outlet and bolted back on. It is a PITA to do by yourself. I notice the effect when I am on the interstate, that is where the majority of my driving is done.

my Volant sucks from the fender and the front, but I'm scared that if I were to hit a hole hard enough, the water would channel right into the box and up the intake

I just installed mine today. I need to play with it a little since the tube hits the upper cowl and grounds out big time. Sucks under throttle. A little disappointed in the quality. I cut to trim the opening for the MAF sensor because it wouldn't even fit in their hole let alone line the screws up. Wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't 20 degrees outside!

NO, it sucks right now because it's grounded out and hitting the dash, so it makes it sound very loud and annoying. I'm hoping I can correct it tomorrow before my sons birthday party! I'll update the thread after I correct the ground outs and see how it is.

My Volant box is of very high quality...my only issue was bolting the box to the top of the fender...took a few minutes, but easy to resolve

I don't understand either how any part of the Volant would hit the dash, unless the 04 is a lot diferent from my 06. And like tylus, mine was of excellent quality and works great. The sensor was an easy and exact fit. The only hiccup was having to move a small wiring harness fuse block long enough to set the Volant filter box in place. Once there, the fuse box went easily back into its mount.

Has anyone installed a Volant on a 2007?
I see on their website fitment guide it only goes to 2006.
Do you guys know of any difference with the stock intake of the 2006/2007 models?
I wonder if they havent updated their fitment guide...

The tube is hitting the dash right about the throttle body. I'm going to shorten the 3 1/2 coupling so I'm hoping this will lower the tube enough to clear the dash. Can't say anything else about the MAF other than it wouldn't fit until I enlarged the hole. It looked like the opening was partially melted, so I was wondering if it got too hot when they installed the threaded inserts. Wasn't a big deal, but didn't expect to have any issues for the price I paid.

mine has about 2" of clearance between the firewall edge and the tube...something funky going on there
do you have the 4.6 or the 5.4?

Here's the problem I am having. My 2004 is a 5.4L 3V. Even if I just place the tube on top of the throttle body, it hits the dash. I have emailed Volant and will call Tech Support Monday. Will keep everyone posted..
