Construction & Design

The Volant Closed Box Air Intake is constructed with high-quality materials designed to withstand the rigors of diesel truck use. The air filter utilizes eight layers of tightly woven textiles, pleated between robust aluminum screens that provide both protection and airflow optimization. This design ensures the filter maintains its shape and filtration efficiency over extended use.

The intake housing is engineered to isolate the filter from engine heat, drawing in cooler ambient air for improved combustion. The entire assembly is precision-built to fit the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models with the 6.7L Cummins engine from 2008 to 2009, ensuring a seamless installation experience.
