toxic donkey Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 i installed my volant this afternoon with scoop, got cai on clearence from performancecenter.com for good price. install was pretty straight foward ,but one question... the way the air box sits againstthe wall is not airtght. even the stock air box was fitted with foam gaskets and fit snuggly against the wall where it sucks. would it benefit the volant to silicon or foam this area for a better seal? doesnt sucking air from the engine compartment completely defeat the purpose of the system, or am i being overly analytical about the thing??

Badkarma Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 i wouldnt go that far. maybe add some more foam. get some foam weather stripping from an auto parts stor and fill it in if ya want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a little HVAC foam that I bought from Home Depot for less than five dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
