VOLANT® - CAI Kit with Donaldson's® PowerCore™ Filter

Chevy Tahoe 5.0L / 5.7L 1996-1998, Cool Air Intake Kit with Donaldson's® PowerCore™ Filter and Airbox by Volant®. Cooler air is denser and packs in more oxygen for better combustion and more horsepower. This air intake system features an airbox that completely insulates the air filter from engine heat, making sure only cool air reaches your engine. The result is quicker throttle response, improved acceleration and better fuel economy.

There are many cool air intake kits on the market, but how many deliver what they promise? All claim to position the air filter where it will draw in cool air. Some include barriers that are supposed to shield the air filter from engine heat. Only Volant features a sealed Cool Airbox that thoroughly insulates and protects the air filter from engine heat, moisture, dust and debris.

The engineers at Volant designed the Cool Airbox to house a large free-flowing Donaldson's® PowerCore® Filtration Technology air filter. This filter increases engine airflow while also increasing filtration efficiency. It works by directing air into the front of the filter, where it's channeled into its fluted design. The channels are alternately sealed, allowing air to enter through an open flute and forcing it to exit out an adjacent flute. This allows the air to be filtered in one pass through the filter media with less restriction. Airflow is increased and filtration is improved up to 99.97%! The airbox air intake is located so the air filter can only draw in cooler, ambient air. Access to the air filter for servicing is provided by an attractive polished aluminum or carbon fiber look lid.

From the airbox, cool air proceeds to your engine through Volant's Cross-Link polyethylene air duct. Unlike OEM air ducts that have sound baffles and make awkward bends, the Volant air duct is sculptured to give the engine less restrictive breathing, incorporating larger diameters and unique bends that can't be duplicated with metal ducts. (Also, unlike metal ducts, the polyethylene Volant air duct doesn't conduct engine heat right into the intake airflow, thereby defeating the purpose of a cool air intake!) The end result is maximum airflow velocity and quicker throttle response.

Every Volant Cool Air Intake Kit comes complete with everything necessary for installation, including comprehensive installation instructions. All clamps and connectors are made from quality materials. The Silicone connectors provide flexibility while maintaining strength and thermal stability; they won't crack or deform over time like rubber connectors. The marine-grade stainless steel clamps provide a solid seal that won't loosen or deteriorate.

The Volant Cool Air Intake Kit is backed by a one-year warranty. The Donaldson's® PowerCore® Filtration Technology air filter is guaranteed for 4 years or 100,000 miles when used in urban conditions.
