Kit was great minus the connector. For some reason they sent me a 3 inch connector for the throttle body. The throttle body requires either a 3 1/4 or 3 1/2 connector. I ordered one of each separately because I don't have time to mess with it.

The product looked like garbage. Nothing in this kit looked well made. I had to fabricate pretty much everything to make it work on my jeep srt8. Definitely no pride taken in making this item. Even the 4 holes for the cover were off. I definitely shoukd have returned this especially after paying 350$. Very disapointed.

OK, so I read a few reviews and it appeared that this Cold Air Intake would fit my XK (Commander) Hemi. I would say... not exactly.Not every CAI is perfect, but some are actually modified with a snorkel for deep water crossings, and I honestly can’t imagine doing that with this particular Volant. I also can’t imagine doing a deep water crossing in an XK, so that is probably a moot point. The point is, however, that this Cold Air Intake is full of holes, holes that you would be hard pressed to fill, which means that it sucks air from various parts of the engine compartment- some of which is hot air, or dirty, or wet. Anyhow... I tried to plug as many as possible.Jeep engineers have a pretty clean setup on the XK- air enters the grill, hits the radiator, builds up and is forced to the side where it is “scooped” into the stock air box. From there it passes through a paper filter, into a resonator, and into the throttle body. Water cannot directly penetrate the air intake, as it must hit the radiator first, and the stock air box has a small hole in the bottom to drain any water that might make it through at the carwash, etc.The Volant Airbox has a large 4” hole in the bottom for drainage, it’s a straight shot down to the dirt from there, and I’m unsure how water, dust, debris, is not supposed to enter that big of an opening. My solution was to pull a rubber collar from the old intake, fit it with a plastic lid from my kitchen (Jack’s Organic Salsa from Costco), and attach it to the bottom of the Volant. Once I had drilled a small 1/4” hole in the lid, I had replicated, in spirit, the factory airbox design, which in my mind was better than the Volant.The Volant air box has a cutout for the OEM air scoop, and I was able to fit it nicely together outside of the vehicle. However, the airbox sits at an angle inside the engine compartment, and once inside the engine bay, the factory air scoop will not fit. I suppose I could have left the factory scoop off entirely, but it would have allowed more hot air in from the engine, and it would have allowed rain to directly hit the air filter. My solution was to cut the factory scoop in half, allowing the now shorter scoop to plug in nicely to the Volant airbox. Because of the angle of the airbox, the scoop ends directly behind the headlights, which is enough outside the engine bay to draw fresh clean air. I then cut the wind deflector off the other half of the scoop, and used double sided tape to affix it to the side of the headlight, approximately where it was initially. The only feature lost in this is the turbulator, the little cavity in the factory scoop that creates a vortex which would help keep the rain off the filter. Or so I guess that is what it does.Other than that, there is a factory bracket that holds the OEM airbox in place- that’s gotta go to make room for the Volant airbox. I was hesitant to cut it, as once I did there was no going back, but once that is cut off, and I carefully bent a coolant hose out of the way, the Volant airbox sat in there nicely. The factory resonator goes away, so makes a lot more room in the engine bay. There is still a gap around the airbox lid, and there is a gap where the filter leaves the airbox, and both are not the end of the world IMO, but worth mentioning.I purchased this because I wanted a bigger, permanent filter for my truck, and wanted to ditch the factory resonator. I am not sure that I needed to pay that much $ in order to do so. All in all, it took about 4 hours to install, and that was because I am slow, methodical, and worked around the issues I mentioned above in order to not lose any OEM design features, which I felt were important.Anyway, I hope this helps someone else with their install.

I will start off by saying that I am extra picky when it comes to product design and the follow through on it. So I'd give it overall 3.5 stars because it certainly was the best enclosed filter box I could find, and mostly is done correctly.However, also only getting 3.5 stars because there was more than a few lazy design traits that could have easily been improved, the fit/finish is lacking a bit, especially for something that is basically a molded plastic frame glued together(I have worked in injection molded automotive plastics and have seen far more complex designs with better finish, which leads me to believe that quality control may be lacking at the manufacturer facilty) and costing $200+, and just as irritating is Volant costumer service, which seems to be nonexistent, as I have tried to contact them 3 times to see if by chance I could buy one of the older covers, and have never gotten ahold of anyone nor had any response back from them.So my technical critiques are:1. My lid does NOT seat tight. The plastic of the airbox concaves just a little in the center between each of the 4 screw holes, thus giving about a 3/32 gap between the lid and the box. Thus not sealing out engine bay hot air.2. There is also not an air tight seal around the hole where the air filter slides through, again allowing air to be sucked in from engine bay.3. Overall craftsmanship is a bit sloppy, I had extra plastic "edges" on all the mold lines, some even a bit sharp. These should all have been smoothed off. Just seems to be slapped together with little attention for detail. Again this is a $200+ box, the craftsmanship should reflect that.Lastly is the annoyance of not having an offering for the Donaldson Powercore filter. I understand it was designed for the SRT8, but that's a dumb excuse because not only is the SRT8 compatible with the 5.7 Hemi, but there are multiple people putting this exact box on their 5.7L(even more than are putting it on an SRT8) so at a minimum Volant should have retroactively figured out a solution because the SRT8 market they thought they catered to is not there, it is 5.7L guys buying it. The powercore is a far better filter, makes more sense to list a compatible one for end user upgrade.Lastly, they could have built in some insulation, just to keep any extra heat from being absorbed, ensuring the coldest air possible.So I will take extra time now to fix Volants subpar craftsman ship by sanding down the mold lines. Not sure exactly how I will address the lack of seal, probably try a thicker epdm gasket and see if that will close the gaps. And may just cover the box in a black reflective butyl based insulation just to step up the game(plus that's maybe like $15 in material) also going to buy a powercore filter and provide myself the superior quality/filtration that I should have had right out of the box.So yeah overall I'm not unhappy about the purchase because Volant got me 70% off the way there, however the product could have and should have been much nicer for the price. And 0 stars for customer service(makes me wonder if they even answer warranties)

**I purchased and installed this product around 10months ago today**Sick. Just sick. Wanted more throatiness when I romp on it... not loud exhaust...In fact, I now want to keep the factory exhaust because I would never be able to hear this intakeIncreased my grand cherokee's fun factor greatly, still to this day.Lost some stealth factor. Whatever.Was also nice to get that factory silencer out of the engine compartment, easier to climb up in there now.Cant speak for actual performance change, because I installed a tuner at the same time, obvious gains all around.I prob got a small mileage increase, but I actually lost mileage via lead foot behaviors - please refer to fun factor.Just ordered a replacement filter at ~8k miles, even though they are rated for 15k, so thought I would try and help others by writing this review.Buy it!Enjoy!

Works on the 5.7 too. Just need a longer breather hose and a longer coolant return hose.It's tight on the upper coolant hose but you can cut it to shorten it or cut it in the center and install a temp sensor bung which will shorten it and give you coolant temperature at the same time.
