Luke Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I was wondering if anyone with a Volant intake is using the Scoop too? I drive mainly on the highway, so I think it would help out a bit. Not too sure if it is worth the extra $140. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSS04 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 people have mixed opinions about them but the majority say it helps a good bit. i have my volent without the scoop and it runs great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used one when I had a Volant and I am using part of one with my Outlaw now. I got a deal on mine from another member so it was worth it for me. $140 is a rip off IMO. If you are handy with mild fabrication you could probably make one for a fraction of that cost. If I were you, I wouldn't spend that money. Plus, it really makes the filter dirty a lot faster.

Luke Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Plus, it really makes the filter dirty a lot faster. Yeah, I thought about that. I just bought an Amsoil filter ($$$) and I don't want to shorten the life any. What else could I burn $140 bucks on? Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Los' SS Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I was thinking about adding one to my outlaw system once I got my corsa exhaust, but I guess I'll pass and just put that money to a wheatly tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) i have the ram air scoop and i didn't see any et drop from it, but i also let my truck cool down between passes. I did notice i can hot lap with less et drop now. i got around .5 worse MPG. However when i'm moving, the IAT temp is the outside temp. I also noticed that when it got plugged with snow the truck couldn't breath enough for my current tune, i was getting KR real bad, so it must help by allowing better programing.

SSThunder Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I use one with my outlaw CAI. $140 seems pretty high for the part. Check out ebay and see if you find one for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I could forget, but the blowing snow around here is nasty. This was last winter (back of the truck facing the wind!).Winter I may just save up for a cat back exhaust.
