I have heard a few stories about CAI's. Good bad or otherwise mine is here to stay.
After closer inspection and thinking a bit about it I have removed the dorky looking snorkel that blocks the OEM hood scoop and capped the hole in the box. Now the OEM hood scoop can do what it was designed to do ie let cold into the engine bay while travelling keeping the bay temp down and letting the heat out at standstill. There are 2 holes in the Volant CAI, the front one about 4" square out behind grill and a large hole to the OEM inner guard hole. More than enough cold air available. Is it better than other makes??? Dunno but that is what was on mine when I bought her and that will be staying there. If you are like me and inherited this then do what I have done and at least make it easy to check the oil lol Did you know that these beasts are 5 mph faster in Right Hand Drive hahaha
