Construction & Design

The Volant Closed Box Air Intake is crafted with high-quality materials to ensure durability and performance. The air filter features five layers of oiled cotton gauze, which are pleated and sandwiched between aluminum screens to maintain shape and resist damage. This design not only promotes superior airflow but also provides excellent filtration to protect your engine from harmful particles.

The closed box housing is engineered to shield the intake air from heat soak and contaminants, maintaining cooler, cleaner air delivery to the engine.
