Construction & Design

The Volant Closed Box Air Intake system is crafted from premium materials to ensure durability and performance. The air filter features five layers of high-quality cotton gauze, pleated between top and bottom aluminum screens to maintain structural integrity and maximize airflow. This multi-layer design provides excellent filtration efficiency while allowing a high volume of air to pass through.

The closed box housing is engineered to shield the intake air from engine heat, reducing intake air temperatures and promoting denser air charge for improved combustion. This design also helps protect the filter from dirt and debris, extending filter life and maintaining consistent performance.

Performance & Sound

By increasing the volume and quality of air entering the engine, the Volant intake system enhances throttle response and can contribute to noticeable power improvements. The closed box design helps maintain cooler intake air temperatures, which supports more efficient combustion and engine performance. Additionally, the intake produces a subtle, aggressive induction sound that complements the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8’s performance character without being overly loud or intrusive.
