New custom Voltage CAI...

Well I have been waiting for about a month to get this thing and I finally got it installed. I contacted Dale at VP and told him that I wanted an Electric Blue box with the voltage logo on the front rather than the traditional 53R on the top. I basically told him those two things and then let him run with it. So here is the end product. Electric blue box with custom logo and also the shading on the side of the box. Looks fantastic and well worth the wait. Sounds amazing too!






(Please excuse the lighting. Makes the colors look funky)

duvinclunk, what clamp are you using? I installed my Voltage CAI almost 2 months ago, and my intake hose kept popping out with a clamp, so I had to use a zip tie(which I still dont understand why it works, and a clamp dont), and I dont like the look of it.

But overall, Voltage CAI is an awesome product, sounds good, and looks OEM in the engine bay.

And Dale is a very nice and helpfull guy, he stands behind his product

That is the stock clamp but it is not actually clamped. I am also using the zip tie that is included with the intake for right now until I redo all my clamps under the hood...

Looks great and I love the black OMP bar. Your whole engine bay could still pass as stock. Very clean .

Dale is a great guy and has developed a great product. Check his web page as he makes some killer pedals.
