Part #: 16959

The Volant Closed Box Air Intake with oiled filter is a precision-engineered upgrade designed specifically for Dodge Ram 1500 and Ram 2500 trucks equipped with 3.9L, 5.2L, or 5.9L engines from model years 2001 through 2025. This cold air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air intake to improve airflow efficiency, unlocking enhanced horsepower, torque, and throttle response.

Volant’s intake system draws cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay, promoting better combustion and improved engine efficiency. It is a popular choice among enthusiasts seeking a balance of power, sound, and longevity without sacrificing fuel economy or factory-level protection.

Key Features

Engineered for performance and durability, the Volant Closed Box Air Intake offers several advanced features that distinguish it from stock systems:

• Unique oiled cotton gauze reusable air filter designed for maximum airflow and superior filtration
• Custom-designed closed box filter housing to isolate intake air from engine heat for cooler air delivery
• Ultra-durable silicone hose connectors that resist heat, cracking, and wear for long-lasting performance
• Stainless steel hardware included for corrosion resistance and secure installation
• Intake air tube engineered to reduce restrictions and turbulence, optimizing airflow
• Dyno-proven to improve horsepower and throttle response for a more responsive driving experience
• Reusable filter media that can be cleaned and re-oiled, reducing maintenance costs over time
• Custom housing design adds a clean, performance-oriented look to the engine compartment

Construction & Design

The Volant Cold Air Intake is crafted from high-quality materials to ensure durability and optimal performance under demanding conditions. The intake tube is precision-engineered to provide smooth, unrestricted airflow with minimal turbulence. Silicone connectors offer flexibility and excellent resistance to heat degradation, ensuring a secure and lasting fit. Stainless steel mounting hardware resists corrosion, maintaining a solid installation over time.

The signature oiled cotton gauze filter is designed to trap contaminants effectively without compromising airflow, making it one of the most efficient filters available. The closed box design shields the intake air from hot engine bay temperatures, delivering cooler, denser air for improved combustion efficiency.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory intake, the Volant Cold Air Intake allows your Dodge Ram’s engine to breathe more freely. This results in improved combustion efficiency, which translates to increased horsepower and torque as well as enhanced throttle response. Many users also appreciate the more aggressive intake sound that adds to the driving experience without being overly loud or intrusive, providing a satisfying balance of performance and refinement.

Installation of the Volant Closed Box Air Intake is straightforward and designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for Dodge Ram 1500 and Ram 2500 models from 2001 to 2025 with 3.9L, 5.2L, or 5.9L engines.
