We recently installed a Volant PowerCore 151606 Cold Air Intake on Ryan’s GMC Sierra 2500 HD. Here are some photos to show off what an easy and cost effective upgrade it really is. (Click on any of the pictures and you will be able to scroll through them as a full resolution slide show.)
You can get more info about the system here: Volant cool Air Intakes
Next we will be tuning Ryan’s truck with a Diablosport inTune programmer to wake the whole system up. Stay tuned!
-
- Here is Ryan’s 2011 GMC Sierra 2500HD with the 6.0L engine waiting for some attention.
-
- This is the Volant PowerCore 151606 Cold Air Intake unboxed and ready to install
-
- The Volant PowerCore air filter lasts much longer than traditional cotton/guaze filters. Volant Warranties this filter for 4 years or 100,000 miles in Urban Driving Conditions.
-
- A cross section view of the Volant PowerCore filter.
-
- This is the GMC factory air filter box and air inlet tube.
-
- Another look at the restrictive factory air inlet tube.
-
- Here is a view of the 6.0L GM enginge without the factory air intake and the engine cover off.
-
- Comparing the restrictive factory air inlet tube to the much less restrictive Volant air inlet tube.
-
- The factory air filter box uncovered.
-
- Here is a view of the factory panel style cotton air filter, this is no good for flow 🙁
-
- Here is the Volant air box and filter in place with out the finishing Volant metal cover plate
-
- The Volant install is almost finished! Here is the air box with factory MAF sensor installed and Volant air inlet tube.
-
- Another shot of the Volant system air intake tube completely installed, retaining the factory sensors.
-
- Say Goodbye to the Very restrive factory air intake system, with air inlet tube and sound chambers, factory air filter box, and factory cotton panel fitler. NO GOOD!
-
- Installation complete! The Volant metal air filter box cover is in place. The Factory engine cover is installed (no modifications required). Also a good shot of what PA/OH winters do to a once clean engine compartment.
