Well I know this much. K&N has been around for a long, long time and their products are race and road tested proven. I think the K&N allows alot more air intake, which some of that air is cold air could include engine radiant heat. When the hood comes down the "L" shaped wall that separates the air filter from the engine makes a box like compartment. The K&N also allows forced air from the front, and through the grille. I never seen a Volant up close and personal. But right off it looks cool and looks very enhancing to the performance to the air intake. Then I say, It looks just as restricting as the stock air intake. The stock intake is in a confind box like shape, as does the Volant. Grant it the stock air intake has baffles or a a resinator which distrupts the normal air flow to the intake manifold. I know the K&N and Volant are both better products than the stock intake. I know the Volant is more expensive and looks more astheticly better than just the K&N tube and a K&N filter. But its my opinon that the Volant looks like it makes the air harder to injest in that tight space and though it may block out hot engine air, it probably would restrict the cold air too. Versus the K&N which would allow more and all air to flow more easily. Which thats what we want is more colder unrestricting air.
I hope this helps. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey Fly,just a FYI check the bolt that holds the bracket in place on the intake.Mine fell off somehow must have loosened up somewhere along the way.
