Default Volant Intake..Anyone have one yet?

Has anyone tried the Volant CAI yet? It's a damn nice looking setup and I'd be interested in results after installation.

I had their intakes on my Silvy SS and CTS-V. Loved them in both cases.

If I were serious about an aftermarket CAI I would look at the Volant, mainly because it can be purchased with a Donaldson PowerCore filter element(the same company that makes the filter element for the C6 LS3/7/9). Best filter element there is.

No matter how well a product is designed or operates, it's useless if it's not user friendly. It's obvious that the radiator shrould has to be cut to install the unit in a C6, yet they give no instructions as to how, where, etc or even a simple templete to help the end user.

Well the vendor is not answering my emails. One forum member was detailing the journey on this. He had a lot of issues with the fit. The kit interferes with the hinges and the oil lines and the oil cooler.. I guess I am returning it. I bought it from WCP diesel and thus far they are good with the return but I won't know what the want to restock until after they receive it.
