Review on 🌬️ Advanced Performance Volant 12540 Cold Air Intake Kit by Mark Vazquez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

needs work filter

one hell of a boost! It definitely increases the amount of horsepower, but the mpg seemed to drop a bit and I wasn't pedaling hard. 2 things, this 2010 Frontier model has an extra port pointing directly at the fan blades (cold air?!) that needs to be sealed somehow. The installation is difficult as far as the box is concerned. Once you find a good sealant to attach the gasket to the wing inlet, put the screws in the box before the top bracket, otherwise you won't be able to put them in the holes. It will take a lot of effort to get the top mounting screw in place, but it will fit. (guess 3 things) They state that no tuning is required, but there is some increase in idle RPM on cold starts, especially the first time after install. It will run very quickly, but after you let it run for a few minutes the first time, it will adjust. No hissing from other brands that aren't sealed, but a distinctly loud roar when you sit on it. If you have a sound system, dynamize the firewall!

Pros
  • practical matter
Cons
  • communication with seller
