Quick question anyone know why the 2010 6.2L is a different part number than the 2011s and up? Is it only the remote start button for the hood or something else? I guess what I'm getting at could I put a 2011 style on my 2010?
What makes the volant better than the afe. How are the filters different. Be specific
Volant Ford Raptor Cold Air Intake 6.2
Features
Volant Air Filter Box: Our Cross-Link polyethylene box is engineered to each specific application for low restriction and an increase in air volume. It insulates and protects the filter from engine heat, moisture, dust and debris to provide colder air to the engine for an increase in horsepower.
Volant Air Duct: Factory air inlet ducts use sound baffles and awkward bends which restrict flow. Our Cross-Link polyethylene air ducts are sculptured to give the engine less restrictive breathing. Incorporating larger diameters and unique bends, that can't be duplicated with metal ducts, allow for maximum airflow velocity and throttle response.
Volant Pro 5 Filter: Many of our intakes come with this cleanable and reusable high grade cotton filter media with five-layers of protection. It reduces air restriction and increases engine output by using precision pleat geometry, that optimizes airflow throughout the intake system. We recommend using Volant cleaning and oiling system for servicing the Pro 5 Filter.
NEW PowerCore® Filter: The PowerCore® air filter is the most revolutionary on the market. Manufactured by Donaldson® to Volant's specifications, the PowerCore® uses advanced Ultra-Web® NanoFiber® technology. This material is a high-quality synthetic, that won't deteriorate as easily as traditional paper element and cotton/gauze filter media, while also providing vastly improved filtration up to 99.99%. In addition, it's water resistant and never needs oiling. The PowerCore® works by directing air into the front of the filter, where it is channeled into its fluted design. The channels are alternately sealed, allowing air to enter through an open flute and forcing it to exit out an adjacent flute. This allows the air to be filtered in one pass through the Ultra-Web® NanoFiber® media with less restriction, allowing clean air to enter your engine for increased airflow and higher filtration efficiency. This technology allows the PowerCore® air filter to include a 4 year or 100,000 miles warranty when used in urban conditions.
Volant offers Polished Aluminum or Carbon Fiber Look lids. (Some of our older applications and low production intake kits have the carbon fiber look lid.)
Polished Aluminum Lid: Available on all Volant's popular intake systems, this embossed and polished lid features a high-grade neoprene foam backing for good sound insulation that enhances your engine compartment.
Carbon Fiber Lid: Made from ABS plastic with a carbon fiber appearance for a custom look. This lid is included on older applications and low production air intake kits.
High Performance Silicon Connectors: Our silicone hose connectors provide flexibility while maintaining strength and thermal stability. They won't crack or deform over time like rubber connectors.
Stainless Steel Clamps: We only use marine-grade, stainless steel clamps that provide optimal performance to provide a solid seal that won't loosen or deteriorate.
AFE
This aFe Stage 2 cold air intake produces 18hp, 22lbs. x ft. of torque and outflows the factory intake by 47%. Enclosed in a durable 16-gauge, powder-coated heat shield; this air intake system features a washable/reusable conical air filter that improves airflow for increased horsepower and torque. This intake system also features a maintenance-free polished tube that replaces the stock intake tract and directs increased air flow with improved volumetric efficiency for maximum performance. One-piece heat shield requires little or no assembly and the filter is constructed with 100% polyurethane for long life and multiple cleaning cycles. This system mounts to the factory lower intake housing for a hassle-free installtion.
5-1/2” Conical Filter with Inverted Top- This intake utilizes a huge, 5-1/2" oval conical Pro 5R performance air filter with inverted top for maximum flow. This 5-layer progressive, oiled cotton guaze media air filter provides maximum flow for increased horsepower and torque.
Top Mounted Heat Shield Design- aFe developed this heat shield to snap onto the top of the lower half of the factory air box to provide a hassle-free installation utilizing factory mounting locations.
Polished One Piece Tube- This kit uses a polished aluminum one piece tube to direct increased air flow with improved volumetric efficiency for maximum performance. Also utilizing a one piece design makes it a simple and hassle-free installation.
• Horsepower: 18 HP gain

I just got mine in the mail today, part number 193626.
It will not work with my 2012. There is a bracket that holds fuses / relays that cannot be relocated due to wire harness length up where the Volant bracket mounts.
It won't fit over it, and the bracket from the fuse / relay box will not fit over the Volant as none or the holes line up, they interfere with the master cylinder.
Also the 5/8" vacuum line will not route from the valve cover without kinking.
Volant ditched my calls for technical support all evening.
I shouldn't have to re-engineer the whole mounting bracket for the tank in order for it to fit.
I also haven't noticed in anyone else pictures the relay box that's giving me problems. I will take a photo tomorrow and post it.
