Anybody Heard of Volant Intakes?

I was thinking about this setup b/c the tube is made out of polyethylene instead of metal. So it will be more quiet than the AEM kits which use metal. They make kits for 98' up Accord V6.

Why would you want it to be quiet?! AEM's sound amazing at full throttle deep ass growl...There is no other point of getting an intake for ours car's other then the sound, the hp increase aint gonna do nuffin.

I think there is actually a significant performance and fuel economy improvement for the money. You'll pick up like a mile or two per gallon. You'll also pick up like 5HP. The stock intake setup is way too restrictive. Not only do you have that dumb resonator box in the bumper, but you also have one on the intake tube itself. You also have the added benefit of increased filter size, letting the engine breath a lot more.

I used to have an AEM one, but neighbors complained about the loud hum from the resonating metal tube at idle, so I had to get rid of it. Granted, adding an intake isn't going to add 25hp or anything, but it's simple.

I live in a quiet neighborhood and my neighbors have a new baby. That's one reason why I'm trying to go for quiet performance. Also, I am getting a little older these days, so I don't want a car that's too loud.
