11H Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hey all, I just got me a Volant and I always like to have a spare filter cleaned, oiled and ready to go ... Do any of you use or know of a different filter and part number that fits nicely? I have been checking out S&B but it looks like the end caps on their 6" inlet filters being larger diameter, might not clear the cover on the Volant ... Just wondering what you guys with Volants (new style) are running ... Thanks 11H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8rs4lf Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 That's not a bad idea. I personally recharge my filter everytime I change my oil so it's not a big deal to wait for it to dry, etc. because I do that first and then do the oil change. So by the time I finish the oil change, the filter is ready to be sprayed with oil and installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thallent Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I bought my spare one last spring. 51.98 shipped. It was part # 5119. If you look at the volant page it will list the kit number and the number for just the filter. After I got the part number I did some shpooing around to find the cheapest price shipped at that time.

Before I go that route however, I wanted to see if anyone was running say an 8 ply S&B or maybe a AIRAID 5 ply or something ... The S&B is a superior filter to K&N and the Volant, but much less $$$ ... and they test out to a pretty good standard ... I do know the surface area of the volant is well more than what our motors need to breathe (about 610 cfm) NA ... so if the S&B 5" top dia doesn't fit, I can step down to a shorter filter to get into the 4.5" top dia range ... What it comes down to is, I will not pay $50 for a gauze filter ... Unless that's the only option ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashSS Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 If you like that volant you could stick with that or if your a K&N guy you could take some measurments of the volant filter and then see if theres a KN that would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
