Volant Filter Box: Cross-link polyethylene filter box is engineered to specific design. It insulates and protects the filter from pulling hot air from the engine compartment, thus, increasing horsepower.

Pros:
well made, bolt in stock replacement, good looks
Cons:
pricey
this was my first experience with a CAI. Taking out the old was a breeze. The unit attaches the box with 1 bolt on an existing hole. The main tube assembly is a 3 piece. 1 tube and 2 rubber silicon sleeves that use 4 clamps to attach. The throttle body sleeve was a little large for the body, but once clamping down holds tight. The stock air flo sensor is used and plugs into the main tube, a little bit difficult to get out of the stock assembly. A new breather hose is given as well. The box contains the filter element which is attached with another steel clamp. The box lid attaches with 4 bolts. The box itself has two openings, a circle opening at the bottom, where a ram tube could be installed i suppose and a rectangular opening under the box lid in the front left corner, you can see the element through this opening. Once tightened the main hose holds the additional support for the box and is sturdy. I am running the 6 speed manual and this thing has a grumble. at 3000 rpm and above it just gets louder, easily heard over the stereo. Only really makes noise when your into the throttle, low rpm, easy shifting, not really noticiable. My only complaint is the jeep itself, the engine compartment gets so hot that the tube seems to heat up. After 40 minutes of medium to hard driving, the tube is almost too hot to hold onto, negating the cold air but still and improvement over stock. I ended up wrapping the tube in reflective insulation tape to help remain cooler air running through. Overall very very pleased with the product, i like the box design, helps to keep alot of the dirt and mud off the element. hope this review was helpful
