Construction & Design
The Volant intake system features a robust close box housing that shields the air filter from engine heat and external debris. This design helps maintain lower intake air temperatures, which is critical for maximizing combustion efficiency and power output. The housing is crafted from high-quality materials that resist cracking and warping, ensuring long-term durability even under demanding conditions.
The Donaldson PowerCore Ultra-Web filter media is constructed using a unique nanofiber technology that traps microscopic particles without restricting airflow. This advanced filter media is pleated to maximize surface area, allowing for exceptional dirt-holding capacity and extended service intervals. Together, the housing and filter create a system that balances airflow, filtration, and protection seamlessly.
Performance & Sound
By replacing the restrictive factory airbox and paper filter, the Volant Close Box Air Intake enhances airflow into the engine, which can lead to improved throttle response and smoother power delivery. The close box design also helps reduce intake noise compared to open-element intakes, providing a more refined engine sound while still offering a noticeable performance upgrade.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
