I just put in a Volant CAI in my new 07 RC/SB 4.7L and my frist problem is thatthe engine exhaust hose in on the wrong side if the intake ( yes it is the right intake for my truck or so says Volant). My nextissue is that there is a hissing sound when I start the truckand when I let off the gas. It is an anoying sound( Like a hose came loose). Not the normal cool sound of it sucking air that I thought it would have.
WhenI hit the gas it does have a sweet growl but when I let off the gas it hisses very loud.
I have had a CAI on all my cars and trucks and never had this problem !
Has anyone had these problems?

Also I have called Volant and e-mailed them pics but no response

 

I just installed a Volant on my hemi...hose went on fine..could you post some pics on here so i can see what going on. My kit came with an elbow and a coupler to extend the exhaust hose.

 

i believe you are trying to say cai.... you know cold air intkae but if you never had these sounds before the intake i would reccomend checking every seal and making sure everything is installed correctly... little mistakes happen and make a big difference!

 

Sorry it says the pics I have are too large (I'm @ work can't take more now)
The main thing is that the hose comes from the left side of the engine to the right side of the stock air box.
But with the new intake it needs to be on the right side of the engine so I'm crossing the top of the engine to get to the right side of the new intake. I did mean CAI, sorry

With the hissing, even if i break the cai down to just the main tube ( Filter on or off) it makes the noise?

 

hm... when you ran this hose it wasnt kinked anywhere right?

 

Here I printed and scaned it to make it smaller
I checked for a kink and didn't see one but the angle I have to put on it looks like it will kink.
When I was under the hood it was not kinked and the sound was there.

 

where exactly is the noise coming from and what exactly does the noise sound like?

 

If it is not too late,
why not return the Volant
and get your money back'
to spend later on a mod that truly works
rather than one that mainly makes more noise?

Volunteers like yourself
who have pooled money and tested the Volant
found so little improvement that it could not be measured:

Head porting works so much better than aftermarket intakes
that it is well worth saving the money until you have enough to port.

If you desire a quick and simple way to improve power
adding the chemical 1,4 dioxane to your gasoline is a much more effective way, and you can buy a lot of $7 cans of the stuff for the cost of Volant.
But adding dioxane, you are cheating the way Roger Penske's NASCAR teams have shown works:

hank what the heck do you drive... do you ever do a single mod??

 

Hehe...

I don't know what he said but I'm sure it was negative.
