Default Volant cold air intake installed on 2005 GX470

Here is a picture of my 2005 GX470 with my new Volant air box intake system. This is kinda like a K&N but supposed to be better.

Well, what better day then halloween to bring this post back from the dead..

I was checking Volant's website and they dont seem to offer a kit for the gx 470 (anymore?). Did you have to use the 4.7L 4runner kit and modify it?

They never offered a GX kit, that's from a V8 4Runner. But we have a factory cold air intake so unless you want some eye candy save your money.

None of the CAI manufacturers offer a straight Replacement for GX. Your are wasting your time and money. It has always been the V8 Brother 4Runner who has the options. You just have to build one your GX. And that is what Stockstink did. Clean build.

He didn't build one, he's used a Volant from a 4Runner. He cut a hole in the plastic passenger side engine cover so the Volant airbox can fit.

Default K&n

I bought the K&N 63-9022.

It was a direct & perfect fit... Just too damn loud!

I've had it for sale in the Classifieds for months without a single nibble
