I'm still waiting but like they said earlier it might take a month or so before we hear anything. So don't get dissapointed, its only been a couple weeks I think.

Its made of urethane instead of metal meaning that the Volant keeps the air colder seeing that urethane doesn't conduct heat like metal. It also pulls the air straight up so it is much harder to get water into your intake. Unless you drive through a flood high enough to completely submerge the tip of this intake, it won't hydrolock. If you are that dumb to do that then you just shouldn't drive.

cdmx: Do you mean the shocks that Tokico makes because I was wondering about that. They will have them out late this year or very early next year.

I've done some looking around and found this site :

Volant Dealer

I'm going to email them to see if they've any stocked volants for civics and see if they will do a group buy instead of going to volant themselves.

No email or ETA from the merchant is kind of borthering me. They should at least be giving us a timeline, and IF this dealer has volants in stock, I'd not be too happy with how Volant's treating us.


Just my opinion,

Alex

Here is the link to where I saw the dates. I was looking for them too and I plan to just wait.

Volant is really making me angry that they have some confirmed buyers here waiting and they won't even give out any information.

Response from dealer received a couple of minutes ago... Some bad news (for only me maybe) and some good news.

The good news :
Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for inquiring at ProficientPerformance.com


unfortunately, volant said that they do not believe that this kit would work for your Sedan. We can offer a price break, depending on the quantity. Let us know what you have in mind and we will see what we can do for you.

Thanks again for your interest in ProficientPerformance.com, and we hope to hear from you soon.

The ProficientPerformance.com Product Support Team
Email: sales@proficientperformance.com
Website: www.proficientperformance.com

The bad news :
I've a 02 Civic EX Sedan AT, and Volan't web site that P/N 11417C will fit a 01-02 Civic EX 1.7 Liter, so I'm a bit confused why this dealer is saying that it won't fit my car. Any ideas?

So if somone's interested in contacting the dealer to ask for a group buy deal, the info is there.


Alex

From the dealer's email, it sounds like they have some in stock. I tried emailing them again to verify the numbers available as well as how long it'll take to process and ship the order, but I've yet to receive a reply. I guess they might be sick of all my emails

You could try emailing them direct from the contact info in my previous message and see what they say.

I'm still going to call Volant direct to see if it'll fit my car... I'm not happy that they didn't say anything on the website about the models and the exceptions for their product.

Alex

I want a new intake.. Will it outperform my CAI on my 03 lx manual? I am leaning towards volant or FIPK but I want to know if volant really will give you hp and no loss of torque.. 200 is alot!

man it's so much like the stock intake, why not just put a k&n filter in your stock intake and call it good.
