Volant Air Filter

Volant Air Filters: Advanced Filtration Technology for Maximum Engine Protection

When it comes to performance air filters, Volant Performance stands apart from the crowd by offering two distinctly engineered filter technologies — each purpose-built for a different driving philosophy. Rather than settling for a single one-size-fits-all solution, Volant gives enthusiasts a genuine choice based on their environment, maintenance preferences, and performance goals.

The PowerCore® Filter: Zero-Maintenance Dry Filtration

Volant's flagship air filter product is the PowerCore® series, developed in partnership with industrial filtration giant Donaldson. Manufactured by Donaldson to Volant's specifications, the PowerCore uses advanced Ultra-Web NanoFiber technology. What makes this technology fundamentally different from conventional filters is how it captures contaminants: submicron contaminants load on the surface rather than collecting in the depth of the filter, which keeps airflow restriction low even as the filter accumulates dirt over time.

The PowerCore works by directing air into the front of the filter, where it is channeled into its fluted design. The channels are alternately sealed, allowing air to enter through an open flute and forcing it to exit out an adjacent flute — filtering air in one pass through the Ultra-Web NanoFiber media with less restriction.

One of the most compelling advantages of the PowerCore filter is its maintenance-free design. This material is a high-quality synthetic that won't deteriorate as easily as traditional paper element and cotton/gauze filter media, while also providing vastly improved filtration — and it's water resistant and never needs oiling. PowerCore filtration is ideal for severe duty environments or maximum engine protection, purpose-built for the toughest environments on earth. Volant backs their PowerCore filters with a strong warranty: replacement air filters are warrantied for 4 years or 150,000 miles in urban conditions, whichever comes first.

Pro 5 MaxFlow: Oiled Cotton Gauze for On-Road Performance

For drivers who prefer a cleanable, reusable filter with a more traditional performance pedigree, Volant offers the Pro 5 MaxFlow line. The Volant Pro 5 Filter is a cleanable and reusable high-grade cotton filter media with five layers of protection. These multi-layer oiled cotton gauze filters are designed to maximize airflow to boost horsepower and torque — making them a strong choice for everyday on-road driving where periodic maintenance isn't a concern.

Which Volant Air Filter Is Right for You?

Choosing between Volant's filter technologies comes down to your driving environment and maintenance preferences. The PowerCore is the clear choice for off-road enthusiasts, high-dust environments, or anyone who wants to install a filter and forget about it for 100,000+ miles. The Pro 5 MaxFlow suits performance street drivers who don't mind the occasional cleaning regimen and want a premium cotton-gauze feel.

• PowerCore®: Dry, no-oiling, no-maintenance, NanoFiber synthetic media, rated for severe-duty conditions
• Pro 5 MaxFlow: Five-layer oiled cotton gauze, cleanable and reusable, maximizes on-road airflow
• Wide vehicle fitment: Filters are available in multiple flange sizes and shapes (round, oval, straight, offset, slant) to fit a broad range of trucks, SUVs, and cars
• Compatible with other intakes: The PowerCore fits most popular aftermarket systems, so you can upgrade a K&N, Airaid, or AEM intake to the performance and protection of the Volant PowerCore.

Whether you're replacing the filter on an existing Volant cold air intake system or upgrading a competing intake, Volant's air filters represent a thoughtful engineering approach to clean, unrestricted airflow.
