Man I just finished installing the K&N Cold air intake for my 2010 Nissan Xterra, what a difference. Woke the engine up. Sounds so aggressive now too. Thanks for the vid!
@@AnthonyJ350 question: I got the model 12540 for my 2015 Xterra; it has the tube for the ram air box but no ram air box. I saw it on your video and in other places as an option, but they don't seem to offer as one. Any ideas on that?
Regardless of the hp/mpg gain debate. I must give you credit on one hell of a good solder/shrink tubing job. Most would just twist together and be done or worse.. wire nut it.
Great video! Good detail during install and honest review afterwards. I'm doing the same with my 2013 Xterra. Keep up the Nissan Vids, very helpful for my applications aswell. Looking forward to more.
Thanks for the feedback. Next we'll be showing a slick camera system that was installed and doing an install for a fuel catalyst (not sure if it'll work but worth a try). Stay tuned!
fantastic video. i have a stock 2011 frontier i got few months ago. plan on putting in a bunch new equipment. putting a CAI on the list for sure. i was curios if you can tell me what you put in for a stereo. im looking for something that blends well with the dash, clean and tidy. the stock one is rubbish but it looks nice.
Man the Air intake i put on my Frontier Pro4x makes that thing look like a TOY ,AFE is a Beast gave me big time gains and you can hear it +11 HP +15lbs Torque and all i had to do was connect it to the OEM reader and it was Calibrated simple Asfk !
Any thoughts on this filter in a cold wet climate (eastern Canada?) I've heard cone filters are a bad idea. Also, would the ram intake scoop excess water / muck when driving off road / mudding?
Great video bro! Just got 18 frontier midnight edition and would love to add some sound. Question: I've heard 2 sides to this. Does the stock cpu really adjust to this mod? Always heard you need a tune to really benefit.. Thanks!
It will adjust a bit, but your truck really really benefit from an UPrev tune. I have a 350Z and after dyno tuning, the car had more power and was smoother.
BAMAZ#1 I had mine retuned and remapped after the installation because the airflow will be much bigger than it was before so when you have too much air in the intake system your system will run Lean that's where the stupid PO codes will pop out and you don't want that. I got mine remapped, retuned/recalibrated, and I replaced the Stock OEM Nissan Fuel Injector with another Nissan High pressure flow racing fuel injectors on all 6 cylinder, then I got a much better Spark plugs that emitts more bigger Sparks. Besides that I got a Banks Monster power Exhaust a great combination and pair with the Volant Cold Air Intake, after the install and ECM Remapping and Calibrations the truck gained 78HP and 82lbs/ft of Torque on the Dyno. Because I live in Texas State, and the Smog check is not much an issue here unlike Commiefornia I got rid of the Catalytic converter, then the number went up little bit making a gain of 89HP and 86lbs/ft of Torque, no force induction system like turbo or supercharger the engine is still Naturally Aspirated V6 VQ-40. And I kept the Truck on standard Stock OEM Height, also kept the stock OEM tires which is the Hankook dyna pro ATM RF-10 which is the Lightest All terrain all season tire among the others. BFG KO2 tires and and Goodyear Wrangler duratrac are one of the heaviest Truck tires in the market, heaviest and slow, and you didn't want that. I didn't want lifted either because it will slow down the truck and perhaps the mods the I did will be for nothing.
Hey Anthony, First off I have to say great video. It was a tremendous help when I was I installed my Volant CAI. How did you get the Nissan engine cover off of the stock air intake? Did you just take off the top portion or did you keep the entire body of it and just cut it from the tube? I cut mine off the stock tube but it will not fit. Also, did you find that the box did press up against the Brake Reservoir lines? I was worried about the pressure against the lines. Thanks in advance.
I don't mind spending the money, but I'm looking for fuel economy. Any idea on the change in MPG if I keep my foot out of the throttle and can i buy it in California.
Hey Man. I purchased the Volant cold air intake for my 05' Nissan Frontier. Would you mind if i asked you a question or two about the install? Thanks man. Like your videos btw!
@@AnthonyJ350 Awesome thank you! My 05 horn is already mounted in front of the radiator so I did not have to relocate mine. However was there anything else you had to move or relocate that you can remember in order to get the intake box to fit in correctly? Mine did not want to sit down all the way.
@@Cmf1988 Not really, sometimes we'll install spacers or shims to make things fit better. Other times we'll heat up plastic to help it conform to the vehicle.
Just put the Volant on my 2010, so far so good but ... what did you do with the extra hose coming off the stock intake box? The vid shows you removing it and then nothing. The PCV recirc hose is an obvious reconnect but there is the extra hose that runs down and the Volant box has no connection for it. I am unsure what it even does.
what battery leads is logan using with his red top? i really like the clean look. hoping to grab some with my new redtop aswell. also did he have to put in a new tray for it? Thanks guys! PS , are you going to do the catchcan vid for the frontier ?
Those were like really old Stinger battery clamps. Also use dielectric grease on the terminals to prevent corrosion. I haven't put a catch can on the Frontier, but I did do one on my car so you can get an idea. ua-cam.com/video/iSzU-cvlLO8/v-deo.html
@@flossum3309 UA-cam is pretty good at giving notifications, I do my best to respond. I'm still responding to messages from years ago because I missed a bunch of notifications.
If you do off road, just get what he got. If you like to speed. Get the K&N version. Both are the same just different sound and the K&N version just faster and more TQ. I mean, if you get this version. You'll still get the same response. But you get a stronger KICK with the K&N version. But I like the Rumble better with this version.
Why Voolant Air Intake and not KnW intake? Just a simple question. I too have a 06 Nissan Frontier but afraid of fucking up something if I put new air intake! Thanks for the video.
I'm pretty bummed, ordered my Volant CAI from AutoAnything and it came in the mail today. Got it all ready to install when I noticed the gasket for the mass air flow sensor was missing. Should I just call AutoAnything back in hopes they can send it to me?
thank you some body knows about reaction time lol no one believed me about me about swapping out stock intake for after market nice to know that there is an aftermarket air filter case that shields a air filter so that way it doesnt pick up oil and dirt all that easy thank you for the web link im goin take look at it im not sure what truck im gettin yet but as soon i get back to work im gettin an cold air intake what do you think about throttle body spacers and do you know a good brand of the obo readers the blue tooth ones thanks for the help if you see this
I put throttle body spacers on all our vehicles. No idea if it's helping. I don't know if giving the intake manifold it any more beneficial or if it actually helps spin the air, yet I keep buying them... They look cool and some make a neat whistling sound, I can tell you that much, and I feel good when it's installed. I don't use the bluetooth ones. I used this one to solve a vacuum leak on my 350Z. I installed an oil catch can and would throw a code after like 30 miles. One of the threads wasn't sealing and I was able to isolate the problem by looking at the short term and long term fuel trims. ua-cam.com/video/NWlyWhGrIog/v-deo.html
Can you just use the stock set up and replace the air filter to k&n and make a big hole to the stock housing filter n remove some part of the front plastic on the front grill side so that there is plenty of air coming in.correct me if im wrong.thank u
Where did you hook the factory front differential breather line? The guy who put in my K&N air intake just left it hanging in the engine bay. There is no place to hook it to on the air intake.
@@AnthonyJ350 Hummm…… Interesting so my breather line must have just been attached to the side of the factory intake with a clip or something. I'll have to find a place to zip tie it too to keep it out of the way. I don't really go off road much but I don't want water getting into that line. Thanks for the reply.
Few things Ive noticed that someone might do .Never use torch on your engine compartment shrinking heat tubes, If you can afford snap on tools Im sure you can afford a nice Milwaukee heat gun. and PIN SWITCH? dude those things are so 70's hahaha
I have an '07 Xterra and the engine is great. What these trucks could really use is a programmer or the Pedal Commander for the electronic throttle. For some reason Nissan has delay programmed into the pedal up to a certain or some shit. After talking to other Xterra owners that have either the Pedal Commander or a programmer, they say that throttle response is WAAY better. Better to the point where it will spin the tires when you romp down on it from a dead stop. When I hammer it from a dead sop now the delay is frustrating to say the least. I say OR programmer because some programmers have the ability to also reprogram the pedal.
Oman Rap I personally run K&N systems in my personal vehicles (they were originally developed for off road racing), and I prefer to use the FIPK systems that are made mostly of plastic. The metal tubes look cool but since metal is a conductor they retain heat. Even on the the K&N web site they show their metal FIPK systems make a couple less hosepower than their full plastic composite versions.
To make things easier I would just get the product for your year. We were experimenting and willing to make modifications. Depends what you're comfortable doing.
Where did you get the ram piece from as its not on the Volant web site and only ships with a cap for the spare hole? I cant find that ram anywhere online
Bingo... The Airaid, and K and N systems draw the intake air from inside the engine bay which is counter productive for a cold air intake system. I tested the Airraid system vs stock on my truck and read the intake temperatures via the OBD interface via Bluetooth at idle. With Airaid intake temperatures were 181 degrees while the factory box was 141. In addition to running hotter than also are more restrictive. While most conical filters are bigger than the OEMs filter element in the case with Nissans 4.0 L its the other way around. There is more filter media than K and Ns open conical element. The only benefit in using K and N is that your location of your intake is risen preventing you from sucking up water in your intake while doing water crossings.
not sure if you guys cares but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown =)
It'll help a little because it'll maintain flow as it gets dirty, compared to a stock filter. Tires will help more with MPG but if it's better on the highway you might sacrifice off road capability.
AnthonyJ350 I was not able to find the cover with the logo by itself without the air supply tube. Can you help me to locate this cover. The original cover is molded together with the air tube
Because the older style had a more sealed intake tube into the air box, but it required relocating some factory parts (shown in the video). If you don't want to do any modifications just order for your year.
Sorry, I fully watched the video with the sound on this time, lol. Was at work when I first watched some of it. You totally explained why in the vid. Thanks again for responding.
+alejandro hernandez Pretty much. As far as I can tell, their front clips are the same. I would double check on AutoAnythings web site to make sure they're the same part number though.
By watching your video and looking at how my xterra is set up I figured I had to do the same. When I moved the horn just to check if the air box would fit, to my surprise it didn't. I called auto anything and we did a conference call with Volant tech support. They asked for my VIN they told me even though I have a '07 Xterra its considered a 2nd generation so in reality the part I needed is for a '08. Anyway just figured I'd post this long comment in case anyone was in a similar situation as me. I wish auto anything would have asked for my VIN from the beginning, now I have to send my air intake, and two magna flow cats back since neither of them fit. The only thing that worked for my xterra was the magna flow cat back exhaust that I ordered. Thanks for your help AnthonyJ350
I have a Nissan frontier 2011 is it really worth it to do that? I'm kinda confused some says that you'll get more power and better fuel mileage. Other's say that is not worth it. So who do you trust?
Good question. Potentially yes this will add power, but also factor you have to combine mods to get more of an effect i.e. add exhaust. So it depends what do you want to get out of your truck and how much do you want to spend for the effect?
Damn my man you did way too much work getting that filter out you could of got one that would of just connected to the splice you had to remove all that wow
Sorry about that, I made a correction in the description. I was a rookie when it came to VQ motors then. I'm a lot better now if you look at my 350Z playlist :)
The VQ40DE has port injection. It was never made with direct injection, I'm not sure where you read that. The DE in the engine code denotes D: Dual Overhead Cams E: Electronic Fuel Injection Nissan uses DD at the end of their engine codes when they have direct injection. For example, the engine in the Nissan Juke is the MR16DDT which breaks down into: MR: Engine family 16: 1.6 liter DD: Dual overhead cams, direct injection T: Turbo.
***** There I go not reading things carefully. I read direct ignition and understood it as direct injection, yes not the same thing, unless its diesel. My apologies.
There is no way I would install an intake that I have to modify areas of my truck to make it fit. There are so many other intakes that work just as good that do not require modifications like this one. Buy a K&N or Airaid, Nismo, AFE, just stay away from Volant!
I want to know how much more"fuel- efficient"this coverision is in terms of M.P.G.(Miles Per Gallon) NONE of these videos really crunch the BEFORE and AFTER numbers on this to justify spending the $250.00-$350.00 on a aftermarket air intake system. This video really"missed-the-mark"on this fact.
Its only sound no fuel decrease or increase in power just wooor sound making you feel that you have more power by the mean time when ever you heared that sound youll press gas peadle deeper and youll waste your gas on Nothing Just to hear that sound and youll cinvince your self that you have more power and actually you have nothing
sounds like a turbo?????????Dude do you have any idea what a turbo sounds like spooling up?You just lost all credibility with anything that has anything to do with perfomance
Mike grazio What? Intakes make the hisssing sound between shifts. Just an opinion. Watch my 350Z videos and see if you still think that way of things I do.
Man I just finished installing the K&N Cold air intake for my 2010 Nissan Xterra, what a difference. Woke the engine up. Sounds so aggressive now too. Thanks for the vid!

Nice air filter. A cool idea I had was to cut a clear piece of plexiglass for the airbox cover so you can see through it.
Great idea!

How did it go?
just wondering what size is the new wires for the horn extension,
why do you have to test the batterys? hmmm
Can someone recommend a good cai for an 08 frontier that doesn't require cutting or drilling of any components.

I've got a Bully Dog and it totally woke up the motor. I recommend.
On the website volant states there is a cut out for the horn so you don’t have to move it. Is that a different air intake?
That would be different than the one used in the video. I believe there have been some changes.
you know .. in liddle east is most hot weather in the world
so which air intake is the best and more hp for Xterra 2013
k&n or other ??
k&n with 14 hp

We are based out of the Lower Mainland.
What made you pick the Volant cool air intake over the K&N cool air intake?
The box that isolates the filter element from the engine bay and the ducting for it.

Does this have an exhaust upgrade or is the sound improvement just from the intake.
Googan Googanstein Factory exhaust equipped on this vehicle.
It sounds way better than stock. Nice work.
Does anyone know if putting a cold air intake in a 2.5 straight 4 cylinder is the same as a v6
Catch can install on the frontier? Ever make it?
No but I put one on my 350Z ua-cam.com/video/iSzU-cvlLO8/v-deo.html
Where did you get the gold battery terminals?
You can get them from your local install shop or search Stinger products online.
how many km per lit sir ?
What's the gauge of those wires?
“Kinda like a turbo.. but not” 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching!
not sure if you guys cares but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown =)
@Andrew Zakai Yea, have been using Instaflixxer for months myself =)
Will this make it gain better mpg? The best I get is 18.4
It'll help a little because it'll maintain flow as it gets dirty, compared to a stock filter. Tires will help more with MPG but if it's better on the highway you might sacrifice off road capability.
Where can i get the replacement nissan logo engine cover if the original one cant go back on.
Online or dealer. I remove those all the time now because rodents live underneath and they trap heat which isn't good for the electronics.
AnthonyJ350 I was not able to find the cover with the logo by itself without the air supply tube. Can you help me to locate this cover. The original cover is molded together with the air tube
Does the air enter from the side like the oem?
Agent. K. It does. We had to modify this truck slightly to do so.
you dirty. I was leaving then you hooked me with the booty girls. LOL
Thanks for watching!
will this work for a 09 nissan frontier xe?
Not sure, you'd have to ask Volant.
What kind of mesh grill is that!!!!!
Got it from a metal fab supple shop
Should I order a different year Volant CAI for my future 06 Pathfinder? Please explain why you needed to order an 07 CAI for this 2012?
Because the older style had a more sealed intake tube into the air box, but it required relocating some factory parts (shown in the video). If you don't want to do any modifications just order for your year.
Sorry, I fully watched the video with the sound on this time, lol. Was at work when I first watched some of it. You totally explained why in the vid. Thanks again for responding.
2010 are port injected not direct that came with the 3.8
Thank you for the correction.
So the Volant is better then AEM
I like the air box more.
Will this be the same install for a 2007 Nissan xterra?
+alejandro hernandez Pretty much. As far as I can tell, their front clips are the same. I would double check on AutoAnythings web site to make sure they're the same part number though.
By watching your video and looking at how my xterra is set up I figured I had to do the same. When I moved the horn just to check if the air box would fit, to my surprise it didn't. I called auto anything and we did a conference call with Volant tech support. They asked for my VIN they told me even though I have a '07 Xterra its considered a 2nd generation so in reality the part I needed is for a '08. Anyway just figured I'd post this long comment in case anyone was in a similar situation as me. I wish auto anything would have asked for my VIN from the beginning, now I have to send my air intake, and two magna flow cats back since neither of them fit. The only thing that worked for my xterra was the magna flow cat back exhaust that I ordered. Thanks for your help AnthonyJ350
alejandro hernandez Thanks for your comment so other people will be informed.
he said I don't really care if I mess something up it's not my truck. fuck it dude
#Sarcasm
@@AnthonyJ350 #obviously.
@AnthonyJ350 where do you get the ram air part for this filter. It's not listed on anythingauto.com or the volant website
I would try contacting Volant and see if it's still available.
Where can I get that grille??
It's just a factory grille. Might be unique to the Pro4-X
Where can I get this?
We got this part at AutoAnything.com
driving in surrey
I have a Nissan frontier 2011 is it really worth it to do that? I'm kinda confused some says that you'll get more power and better fuel mileage. Other's say that is not worth it. So who do you trust?
Good question. Potentially yes this will add power, but also factor you have to combine mods to get more of an effect i.e. add exhaust. So it depends what do you want to get out of your truck and how much do you want to spend for the effect?
@@AnthonyJ350 got ya thank you!!!
Look at it this way at the very least you never have to purchase another air filter again!
asking for water ingress with that hole cut
Still in the truck up till today and we live in Vancouver which rains as much as Seattle.
@@AnthonyJ350 go offroad
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
Damn my man you did way too much work getting that filter out you could of got one that would of just connected to the splice you had to remove all that wow
The owner wanted this particular part, so it required modification.
Great input #VQ40LIFE
Thanks for watching!
The VQ40DE engine was never made with direct injection.
Sorry about that, I made a correction in the description. I was a rookie when it came to VQ motors then. I'm a lot better now if you look at my 350Z playlist :)
@MavHunter20XX me?
***** yup. Just looked it up. It indeed has direct fuel injection.
The VQ40DE has port injection. It was never made with direct injection, I'm not sure where you read that. The DE in the engine code denotes
D: Dual Overhead Cams
E: Electronic Fuel Injection
Nissan uses DD at the end of their engine codes when they have direct injection.
For example, the engine in the Nissan Juke is the MR16DDT which breaks down into:
MR: Engine family
16: 1.6 liter
DD: Dual overhead cams, direct injection
T: Turbo.
***** There I go not reading things carefully. I read direct ignition and understood it as direct injection, yes not the same thing, unless its diesel. My apologies.
HOLY SHIT.... he didn't drop his 10 mil
That 4.0 is not direct injection ...
Thanks for the feedback!
There is no way I would install an intake that I have to modify areas of my truck to make it fit. There are so many other intakes that work just as good that do not require modifications like this one. Buy a K&N or Airaid, Nismo, AFE, just stay away from Volant!
To each their own. We like tinkering and wanted to use this intake system.
I want to know how much more"fuel- efficient"this coverision is in terms of M.P.G.(Miles Per Gallon)
NONE of these videos really crunch the BEFORE and AFTER numbers on this to justify spending the $250.00-$350.00 on a aftermarket air intake system.
This video really"missed-the-mark"on this fact.
Don't buy it then
Its only sound no fuel decrease or increase in power just wooor sound making you feel that you have more power by the mean time when ever you heared that sound youll press gas peadle deeper and youll waste your gas on Nothing Just to hear that sound and youll cinvince your self that you have more power and actually you have nothing
Thanks for the scientific explanation!
Useless add on on a truck that has throttle delay which I hate on my 2015 PRO4X
Thanks for the comment!
can you answer my question please any one?
Not your truck so you don't care? Good to know.
Bridger K Where's the trunk in the video? It was probably a joke.
sounds like a turbo?????????Dude do you have any idea what a turbo sounds like spooling up?You just lost all credibility with anything that has anything to do with perfomance
Mike grazio What? Intakes make the hisssing sound between shifts. Just an opinion. Watch my 350Z videos and see if you still think that way of things I do.
you said B-WORD....POTTY MOUTH!!!
Gotta do what you gotta do
pure waste of money
What about this one?
ua-cam.com/video/-U4cTFGqFCI/v-deo.html
Why is this a pure waste of money?
baggins555 it's because he's a Jew anything unnecessary to him is a waist of money. He still wears the same stained underwear he got in 86.
Others have told me that the Volant is not only the best for the Nissan VQ40, but makes noticeable gains.
I put a cold air intake on my 5.0 and it seemed about the same. Maybe a little more mid gain but not enough to justify the cost
