Construction & Design

The Volant Close Box Air Intake features a robust construction combining high-quality materials and thoughtful engineering. The core of the system is the 5-layer oiled cotton gauze filter media, which is pleated between two aluminum mesh screens to provide strength and durability while maximizing airflow. This multi-layer design ensures excellent filtration, capturing dirt and debris before they reach the engine.

The close box housing is engineered to shield the filter from engine heat and environmental contaminants, helping to maintain cooler, denser air intake temperatures for improved combustion efficiency. The entire assembly is designed for a precise fit, ensuring a secure seal and optimal airflow path without the need for additional modifications.

This results in improved throttle response and can contribute to modest power gains by increasing the volume and quality of air entering the engine. The intake system also helps maintain consistent airflow under various driving conditions, supporting reliable engine performance.

While designed primarily for performance and protection, the intake may also impart a subtle enhancement to engine induction sound, providing a more engaging driving experience without excessive noise.
