uncald4 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I'm sure that somebody else has probably done this before but I haven't seen it. I own a custom install biz and I figured that I'd give this a shot. Turned out pretty sweet. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion201 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Looks nice. I see you oil your filter with K&N oil also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggerdan11 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 looks good Thats the thing i never liked about those intakes is you could not see the filter which i think looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncald4 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Now you need to get a clear hood A clear hood you say? Hmm... Thank you for the compliments. I also don't like that you can't see that big ass filter on the Volant. And why the hell do they not pre-oil these filters. I've installed several Volant intake systems on different cars. They all had pre-oiled filters. Or at least send a small can of oil with the kit. Anywho, I can make these clear covers pretty easily. Contact me if you're interested.

I hear you on that gasket. I had about 15 inches of butyl gasket material which wasn't enough to go all the way around. I'll have to get more tomorrow. I can make carbon fiber covers also but then you still can't see the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have over 25k in the engine compartment alone... just out of curiosity how much for a REAL CF cover? with black screws? Holy crap... 25k under the hood? Yeah... Nobody will care about seeing the filter. What filter? I don't want to get spanked for soliciting but I'll make a carbon fiber cover for about $65. If I were making one for myself I would start with a 1/8 black acrylic and lay the CF over it. Then clear and polish the top coat. That way you'd have a solid base. If I just do all CF it would be flimsy like the original cover. I'll give it a run this week and post some pics. It should look pretty sick.
