Hood/CAI question


2003SilvSS

Recommended Posts

This is a simple question that is confusing me a little bit. I'm thinking about getting some type of a new air/intake system. Down the road I want to get an aftermarket hood with functional CAI. If I go with the volant CAI, can I use it without a hood with scoops? And then down the road, when I get an aftermarket hood, can I buy some type of a mount to use the scoop? I know this sounds confusing, but hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about. Thanks

You can use the Volant without having a hood with scoops. To my knowledge, there is no adapter to mate a Volant CAI to a functional hood scoop such as the Keystone hood. The Volant is a closed box type similar to the stock airbox. You would need an open filter type CAI such as Airaid, AEM, K&N. I have an Airaid with the Keystone hood. The outside air dumps right on top of the filter. There is a box built around the filter that supposedly blocks the hot air from the engine compartment , but leaves the top open to the hood scoop.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

 

What do some people suggest I do?

 

Buy an Outlaw Intake?

 

Buy a drop in K&N and cut a whole in the bottom of the air box?

 

Save the time and trouble and put all money towards an aftermarket hood?

 

 

Opinions are all welcomed.
