The Volant Pro 5 Closed Box Cold Air Intake, fitting all '04 to '08 5.4-powered F-150s,
is perfect for the F-150 owner that's looking to increase performance, improve throttle
response, all while remaining budget-friendly and, most importantly, for those emissions-restrictive
states, C.A.R.B.-legal.
A system like this one is going to replace that restrictive factory intake tubing with
something that's designed to pull more cold air and create horsepower.
This intake is manufactured out of ABS plastic and features a nice polished aluminum lid
with the Volant logo front and center.
It also features Volant's five-layer filter, which is going to increase airflow, and also
included in the kit is some nice stainless hardware.
That closed box gives a nice, complete look under the hood.
It's also going to create power and when you're cruising, it's gonna be nice and quiet.
You're not gonna hear any induction noise like you would with some other cold air intake
kits.
Another great thing about this intake is it doesn't change the diameter of the tubing
around the mass air flow sensor, so you don't need to retune your vehicle In order to run
this system and that makes it C.A.R.B.-legal.
So you're always going to pass emissions, even in the most restrictive states.
For around 250 bucks, this is one of the most budget-friendly closed box systems on the
site.
Also included in that price is Volant's one-year manufacturer warranty.
Install for this cold air intake is gonna be fairly simple, but tight spaces can complicate
things.
And for that, I'm gonna give it a two out of three wrenches on our difficulty meter.
It should take you around an hour or two with basic hand tools.
So let me show you how to get this installed on your truck.
For this install, you will need an impact or ratchet, U-joint, T-20 Torx bit, Phillips-head
screwdriver, 8-millimeter socket, 10-millimeter socket, and a deep 10-millimeter socket.
So first things first, we have to get this old factory system out of the way.
We're gonna start by removing this 10-millimeter bolt right in the middle of the air duct.
And that'll allow us to remove our factory air duct.
Next, we can move on to our factory air box.
We're gonna start by unclipping the mass air flow sensor harness, and this breather hose
on the back-left as well.
Next, we're gonna remove these four 10-millimeter bolts that hold our air box onto our intake
manifold.
Now, you wanna go slow here.
In 10 years, nature has kinda rusted out these bolts.
So just take it easy, and it should pop right out.
With our factory air box off the truck, that allows us access to remove our MAF sensor.
We're gonna use a T-20 Torx bit to unscrew that and transfer it over to our new intake
tube.
Volant also provides us with a new gasket, so we're gonna pull the old gasket off and
replace it with the one supplied in the kit.
With that, we can slide our sensor in.
And the kit also comes with new Phillips-head screws for you to mount that.
Next, we can grab our air box and install this weatherstripping to the port that's gonna
lead into our driver's side fender.
With the weatherstripping on, we can drop in our new air box and secure it to the inner
fender using the 10-millimeter bolts, washers, and nuts supplied in the kit.
And we're gonna do the same thing with this one as well, and this one is a water drain
hole.
Next, we can drop in our blue Volant filter and secure it with the larger hose clamp included
in the kit.
With our filter in place, we can tighten down this clamp using an 8-millimeter socket.
Then, we can secure our air box lid using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
With our air box in place, we're gonna move on to our new air duct.
Now, as you can see, I've done a little prep work on this.
This coupler has a hump in it and the medium-sized clamps in the kit.
This coupler is just a plain cylinder and uses the smallest clamps in the kit.
That's gonna go to our throttle body, and this end is gonna go toward our air box.
Now, we're just gonna tighten down all of our clamps.
Next, we can reinstall our MAF harness.
And lastly, we're just gonna remove this breather hose and replace that entirely with the hose
that comes in the kit from Volant.
With that breather hose in place, that's gonna do it for my review and install for the Volant
Pro 5 Closed Box Cold Air Intake System, fitting all '04 to '08 5.4-powered F-150s.
Thank you for watching.
