Just Improved My Volant....again
#1
so i picked up SVT snorkel and some foam for the top of the Volant and got some pretty good results....car runs much harder through RPM's and my filter finaly doesn't get warm or even hot any more(from header heat)= stays cool....cool air = better performance

1) here's my SVT snorkel

2)SVT compare to stock snorkel

3)take the battery cover off

4)take the battery out :)

5)take 2 front screws that hold the snorkel at the front

6)start taking the end of the snorkel out of Volant....it has a clip...don't break it ;)

7)when the stock one is out.....here it is beside the SVT snorkel

8)i didn't follow "myfordfocus.com" How To and just did it this way:
disconnected the end part of stock snorkel and hooked it up to SVT part.....used some serious electrcial ducktape all the way around....used 2 gear clamps and then used some regular electrical tape. You might say WOW this is so ghetoo!!! u got a better idea?? this work....and it hooks up directly to Volant

9)SVT snorkel is in the place

10)After everything is back together

11)here comes the cover foam, glued 2 pieced of velcro to the side of the foam which will be connected to the hood part (used Epoxy glue)

12)another 2 pieces of velcro get glued to the hood....this way u can take the foam part at the meets,g2g's,car shows and ect.

The filter may be cold, but did you feel any performance gains with your butt dyno?

The gains are minimal but stilla good Job Nik.

The foam on the hood is a little wacky, but hey! It's you whip brotha.

Try calling Volant for the strip pf foam that goes around the opening. That does what your foam thing does tacked to the hood.

Shouldn't run you more than 20 bucks with shipping.

I hate to say this Nik but not bad... but..

I have the 2000 - 2001 hood foam thing so no worries about hot air in there & adding the European CAI cover to the front of your car is designed to send more air from the upper grille into the stock snorkel doing more or less the same job you just did but without the change of snorkel.... just so you know... :lol:
