Construction & Design

The Volant DryTech Closed Box Air Intake is built from premium, heat-resistant composite materials that shield the filter element from engine bay heat and environmental contaminants. The intake box’s durable construction ensures longevity and consistent performance in demanding conditions.

The smoked acrylic lid not only enhances the visual appeal of your engine bay but also provides a strong, sealed enclosure to maintain clean, cool airflow. The DryTech filter media is crafted from a synthetic, oil-free material that traps fine particles effectively without restricting airflow, eliminating the need for oiling and simplifying maintenance.

Intake tubing is designed with smooth bends and optimized diameter to reduce turbulence and maximize volumetric efficiency, contributing to improved engine breathing and responsiveness.
