thanks for the reply. I know what you mean about that ram scoop or "snorkel" that cost another $100.....what i mean is i'm pretty sure there should be a coverd for the volant air filter box? I remember i saw a removable lid that covers the box completely (but in your pictures yours is open and i can see the blue air filter).

I thought you were supposed to close the box completely so that you won't be drawing in warm air from the engine bay.

"Volant's Cool-Air kits, with their Hi-Flow Velocity Air Boxes are designed to pull cold air from outside the engine compartment to shield the new high performance reusable cotton gauze filter from the engines heat. Leaving an exposed filter in the engine compartment draws the heat from the engine, meaning the hotter it gets the less oxygen there is, it makes your engine work that much harder to breath. Usually, much larger than stock, the boxes are designed to deliver a dramatically increased volume of air." from proficientperformance

....hmmm.....i'll have to look for that pic but i am positive i saw one that had a lid to the air filter box.

Even stock has a filter cover that you have to remove to pull out and clean the air filter. I'm sure the volant should have one too right? I don't think it's supposed to remain open and exposed like that since the hot air under the hood will just get
sucked into your engine?
