I'd still like to see some sort of evidence that this intake does anything more than the average CAI or SRI...

So will the group buy be less than $277 and ya what about some evidence of power gains and such. I mean it should have been out by now and they still don't have any numbers off hand?

It's still not released. Group buy will most likely be cheaper, and power gains should be good. It's got a sealed filter, which menas better low end without the restriction of the stock resonator.

Sorry guys I haven't heard any new news on this. Volant Performance seems to be sort of unorganized if you ask me. I will do my best to update you when I hear of anything.

**UPDATE**

I finally found out what's going on with these intake systems. It seems that Volant is waiting on a 7th gen to conduct a test fitting before they make the molds. The woman mentioned to me that they have been waiting for quite some time and they don't know how much longer it will be. Is anyone near Racho Cucamonga in Cali?

With all the testing, it probably is. You should volunteer your car! I bet at least they would give you a free intake.

I doubt they would just give it lol, but as of now my car is stock I just got it in february, so we would see pure HP and Torque gains FROM the intake...like I said, I don't mind just give me details, its about an hour or so away from me, well worth the drive to finally end this volant problem so all you guys can see the product in action :-)

alright just to let you guys know, I spoke with Jeff, and Volant needed someone to try the part for fitting. I called them and left a message, because no one was there, that I can go so they can fit it and see how it works. I'm just waiting on a call back, I'll also ask them they want to maybe do a dyno if they install it on my car so we can have some dyno's about the intake. I'll let you guys know what ever else I can find out asap :-) and btw my car is stock so any gains would all be straight from the intake :-)

alright guys good news and bad news...

Good News: The general manager gave me a call and we talked over me going and testing out the intake etc. He is going to talk to the owner of Volant to make sure everything is good, then i'll be going their to try the intake get fitting...and maybe do a dyno to see the results of this intake

Bad News: The whole process is gonna take a month or two because after they get my car for fitting etc, it takes 2-3 weeks to get it made and stuff, then I go to get it installed and tested...etc so let me know with any of your feedback
