2007 Chevy Silverado Diesel Volant Air Intake Kit
Here is the Volant kit laid out before we started installing it.

The Volant airbox slid into the empty space that used to be occupied by its OE equivalent.
2007 Chevy Silverado Diesel Silicone Sleeve
The silicone sleeve was slipped over the factory tubing that leads to the throttle body. Then, the aftermarket intake tube was secured to the sleeve. These new diesels don't have much room under the hood, so the assembly at this point had to be pried a bit away from the rear of the compartment to fit the hose clamps over the sleeve.
2007 Chevy Silverado Diesel Conical Filter
At the other end of the intake, the conical filter was dropped into the airbox and secured to the intake tube with a hose clamp.

After that, the logoed lid was screwed tightly to the airbox, and then the mass airflow sensor was attached to the new intake tube and plugged into the vehicle's data bus. There you have it, Volant's air-intake system gleaming from the dark confines of the HD's busy engine compartment.
2007 Chevy Silverado Diesel Rbp Exhaust
Here are the RBP and factory exhaust systems. RBP's 4-inch exhaust was designed to fit on the new emissions-friendly Duramax diesels.

2007 Chevy Silverado Diesel Turbo Downpipe
After removing the factory exhaust, the RBP turbo downpipe was installed right after the turbo. Then came the front extension pipe.
