6.2 Raptor AFE Intake Dyno Results!

lets say you have a 90mm MAF and a 95mm stock tube after the MAF. Now you keep the 90mm MAF and add a 200mm after the MAF are you going to flow more air through it?

Sounds like code for trolling to me. I've read a review that the says Volant inhibits performance. Research, make an assessment, pick your poison.

I installed the Volant and picked up 1.8 miles per gallon on regular and 2 on premium.

Also, a 3" tube in a flow system is only a 3" tube if it is smooth and straight; any deviation from this creates additional turbulence, and turbulence is resistance to flow.

Was this with the latest aFe dry filter?

What I read on the aFe site and I know they don't bash Owen product. It says they have a progressive circle pattern to achieve the flow.

Yes

That sucks, how long has aFe been around and how long has volant?

This website claims volant was started in 1995:

Air Intakes Brands

And AFE was started in 1999:

I never argued Against your statement that the filter outflows the tube. The fact of the matter is the engine still has to pull air through the tube and the filter will hinder the amount of air that can flow through the tube into the engine. Sure the filter ALONE may flow 400 cfm and the tube ALONE may flow only 380 cfm but when there is a filter at the entrance of the tube, it is restricting airflow at the entrance of the tube and will not allow the tube to flow 380 cfm. Instead it may be 320 cfm. My point was that a filter prevents dirt and harmful particles from entering the engine, BUT at the cost of maximum airflow. The better job the air filter does, the less air it will flow. Based on reviews made by other members on this forum, the volant clearly does a better job at filtering, therefore it would be interesting to see how much less hp it adds compared to the afe

No need to blow it out of proportion and get as angry as the guy in your own avatar looks though

And as for Spenny, your a newb taking the band wagon approach and dont even practice what you preach. He says he read "A" as in singular review from an unknown source blatantly saying that volant inhibits performance implying that this is stance on this argument. And yet he says research, make an assessment, pick your opinion. 1 ****** review from who knows where doesn't qualify as research

troll. I've got nothing to prove to you. They're air intakes, it's not rocket science, do your own research. If you're worried about dust, buy the $350 noise maker with great filtration. IDGAF lol

I use a K & N so I won't argue about which is better. I just like what I like. I had a K&N on my last truck for six years and nothing but good performance with it. I think the name Volant is fun to say.

I never asked you to prove anything but you did take it upon yourself to
prove that your opinion is worthless when you said to research, make an assessment and pick your poison and then claimed to have read something somewhere about volant inhibiting performance implying that this useful researched information. I never claimed that air intakes are rocket science, this whole thing as been blown way up. As I've said before, my point from the beginning has been that the volant clearly does a better job of filtering dirt out of the incoming air than the afe does, so it would be interesting to see the difference in power added between the two via a back to back dyno thats all.
