Pics from last night, it was raining so, this is the best I got so far.

Volant Cold Air Intake


Upclose, all plastic, with rubber couplers, small heat shield

In person it really does look great, night and day difference. I'll see if I can get some better shots tomorrow. Later guys. \:D/

violent b, thanks man. I'm really happy with everything so far. As far as the intake it set me back $181 free shipping. It a quality piece, was it bolt on 100hp? I'll let you know after driving it for a week or so, I already have a Gibson Catback, so it actually didn't change the tone like I was expecting it to. The van does seem to drive smoother with it though. And it does seem to open up a little more when I floor it in the upper rpms.... :afro:

ok just to help you out a bit look inside the mass air flow sensor on the intake side and take the honeycomb lookin thing out you'll notice alot better sound and a little more air going in and also while our in there take out the throttle body and remove the restrictor plate off the throttle blade just make sure to plug all the holes up or it can cause a high idle there was a post on the old board about the throttle body. i did both of these and noticed alot better acceleration and gas mileage

Sweet, thanks... I did the MAF mod last night before heading out. Easy enough, just pops out, I think there is a little change in tone, and possibly a small gain of performance. Can't wait till it gets warmer, so I can continue working on the interior. :afro:
