look at that pic dirtydog where is the hemi hat, air baffle?????
This is how...part # 16857 off of Volants own site. http://www.volant.com/idetail.asp?ID=41 . The pic you posted isn't offered from volant but i'm sure you can mix and match to get it to fit. Here's the install instructions http://www.volant.com/3dkls/iddb/Tfi...ions/16857.pdf It says in your sig that you have a volant...can you post a pic? Which kit did you buy?

the one i have is for a 4.7l because i have a 4.7. i stand corrected, but i didnt know the 5.7l had a different setup. sorry hemi guys. well in that case dirtydog was correct it is a glorified stock airbox. if you get an intake make sure it replaces the hemi hat or airbaffle on the 4.7l as that is where the restriction is.

i have prodcut 16847... ill try to get pics. when i look at it it looks like it might fit a hemi too. thats a first, for a company to make something nicer for a 4.7l. haha ( weird they would keep hemi hat on on 5.7 but on 4.7 they get rid of it)
