I recently installed a Volant CAI and ram-air scoop on my 2002 Ford Focus ZX5 and I LOVE it! I do have a question about the noise though. It's louder than I would like and I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the noise transmitted to the cabin? Like maybe a sound-absorbing spray/foam maybe? I dunno, any suggestions?
peel n seal from lowes other than that most people Like that sound. and the peel n seal is in the roofing section and youd have to apply it in the vehicle....the noise is the air being sucked.

Where exactly would I have to put the peel and seel? In the cabin or in the engine compartment? Thanks...

I'm not sure your going to be able to fix the problem. Unless you plan on sound profing your car. Is it that loud? I have a Volant and I don't even notice it. Of course I'm running a raceheader without a resignator. LOL So I know about loud. Want to take mine for a spin?

You can get them at Volant.com and also Newedgeperformance.com, I think. It will cost you a pretty pennie I think $199 for the scoop. Then add on the cost of the Volant $249 that is if you don't allready have one. I'm happy with the Volant by it self.

It's a Volant Intake, so neither short nor CAI. I would say it's closer to the stock set up. Like a short ram in an incased air box especially since he has the ram air scoop.

I can't remember which website I got the scoop from, but I do remember that it was only $125. I'll see if I can did up the receipt so I can tell you which website it came from.
