#1 I phoned Volant in late Sept, early Oct to inquire about this system. I was told by the design tech I spoke with that this system would be available in early Oct, with the ram air tube to be available somtime in November this year. What my pictures don't show is is the opening at the front right bottom of the intake box (as facing truck) that is appx 2.5 inches in OD diameter. This is where the ram air tube will connect. That is in addition to the 3.5 hole shown in my picture.
#2 The only time I have noticed an increase in air noise is when I ask the H3 to give me all hes got (while passing ect.) I do like the exhaust tone now, it seems deeper.
#3 I haven't checked the milage, Im positive the HP, and torque has increased, I feel it, and its not my imagination, this single mod was worth every penny, and Ed at southernhotrod was outstanding (where I purchased it) Hope this helps.

I have been waitng for somebody to istall this exact system so I have a few question for ya.
1. Volant has a Ram Air option on some of their intakes. Was this an option for your H3?
2. How is the intake noise? I tried experimenting with taking my air cleaner lid off (for about 5miles). The noise was quite loud.
3. Have you noticed any real difference in gas milage? I would sure love to pick up 1 MPG and a few horsepower from a system like this.
