Volant Closed Box Air Intake

2005–2007 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L Cummins HO

Part #: 16559

Overview

The Volant Closed Box Air Intake with an oiled filter is engineered specifically for the 2005 to 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 equipped with the 5.9L Cummins HO diesel engine. Designed to enhance engine performance by optimizing airflow, this intake system replaces the restrictive factory air intake with a high-flow, free-breathing solution. It is ideal for diesel truck owners seeking improved throttle response, better fuel efficiency, and long-lasting engine protection under demanding conditions.

Volant’s closed box design ensures that the air filter is shielded from engine heat and contaminants, delivering cooler, denser air to the engine for more efficient combustion. This intake system is built to withstand the rigors of both on-road and off-road driving, making it a reliable upgrade for severe duty trucks.

The Volant Closed Box Air Intake system combines advanced filtration technology with durable construction to maximize airflow and engine protection. Key features include:

• Volant Primo Diesel air filter with 8 layers of premium textiles for superior filtration and airflow
• Filter media pleated between top and bottom aluminum screens for enhanced durability
• Closed box design reduces heat soak by isolating the filter from engine bay heat
• Engineered specifically for severe duty diesel trucks to handle harsh environments
• Long service intervals of up to 40,000 miles depending on driving conditions
• Oiled filter media designed for maximum airflow and efficient particulate capture
• Direct bolt-on installation with no modifications required
• Improves overall engine performance by increasing airflow volume and quality

Construction & Design

The intake system features a robust closed box housing that protects the air filter from dirt, debris, and heat. The Volant Primo Diesel air filter is constructed with eight layers of high-quality textile media, sandwiched between aluminum screens on the top and bottom to maintain structural integrity under heavy use. This design ensures consistent airflow while providing excellent filtration to safeguard the engine’s internal components.

All materials are chosen for durability and resistance to the demanding conditions faced by diesel trucks, including exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature extremes. The closed box enclosure also helps maintain cooler intake air temperatures, which is critical for diesel engine efficiency and power output.

Performance & Sound

By replacing the restrictive factory air intake, the Volant Closed Box Air Intake allows the 5.9L Cummins engine to breathe more freely, resulting in improved throttle response and potential gains in fuel economy. The enhanced airflow contributes to more efficient combustion, which can translate to smoother engine operation and better overall performance. The closed box design minimizes intake noise, maintaining a quiet and refined engine sound compared to open filter setups.
