I’m debating getting a Volant with the power core filter… does it make a bunch of induction noise? Had a Mopar “CAI” on my Durango and it was pretty noticeable, I’d like to avoid that as the truck already makes enough noise with the flowmaster lol.
Now, actually, it sounds the same as stock. I was surprised when I pulled the stock system and there was no resonator or anything in it.I’m debating getting a Volant with the power core filter… does it make a bunch of induction noise?

Yes, it is a nice product! The PowerCore is wicked efficient, but OE paper filters are also very efficient.Hey @OVERKILL, sorry to resurrect an older thread... but you still running this air intake with the Powercore? Thoughts after a couple years?
While I don't think I'm anywhere near a restriction, I do think that having the cammed and tuned 6.0 in my Tahoe, an intake probably couldn't hurt it (might help) and the Powercore filtration has got to be better than the 4th-5th run of jobber ACDelco panel filters. I'm presently on stock airbox/tube.
The Volant CAI looks like a nice product.

I pulled it off recently to install a restriction gauge and haven't gotten around to completing it yet (would be nice to know when to change the filter, that was the intention). If that goes well, I plan on installing one of those on the SRT as well (but don't plan on putting on a CAI).
Where do you have the filter minder installed on the tubing? Now that the weather is nicer, I'm revisiting that project.I have a Volant with PowerCore on my 5.7l Ram. I replaced the filter at 100k, and the second one has 80k and filter minder hasn't made it to the first line. I know that they are usually used on diesel engines, but Filter Minder recommend placing the filter on a gas engine around 12in.
Truck has had several UOA's, silicon was already at noise with the OE filter, so I didn't expect an improvement.@OVERKILL have you done a UOA with this Volant system installed? If so, did it show a reduction in Si vs the factory filter?
The what?Yes the blue Donaldson PowerCore. That was the main reason I bought it.
Donaldson PowerCore, it's the most efficient air filter on the market.The what?
Then it's only a matter of:Donaldson PowerCore, it's the most efficient air filter on the market.
Problem is they don't make them in typical passenger application styles, so you have to buy something like the Volant system (what this thread is about) to get one that fits.Then it's only a matter of:
where do I get them?
And hopefully they have one for my wife's car or my truck.
Also military-proven and buses use them. They don’t live easy lives.Donaldson PowerCore, it's the most efficient air filter on the market.
