Volant Powercore Synthetic Air Filter

[felonious]

I was just reading the off road adventures magazine and came across this. It is a replacement filter that you don't have to service and also blocks out any water that might get through your intake. I think that it would make a great addition to the ARB snorkel setup that everyone is looking at. Or if you do a lot of water crossings or mud bogging and you have a aftermarket intake.

Features:
The Volant PowerCore is designed to replace the aftermarket air filter in most popular cold air intake systems
Volant scraps pleated cotton-gauze for this revolutionary straight-through fluted design
Hundreds of fluted layers trap 99.95% of the damaging particles trying to kill your engine
While trapping more dirt, the PowerCore lets your engine breathe all the power-producing air it can handle
PowerCore’s ability to let air in and keep dirt out makes it 3 times more efficient than conventional filters
The oil-free media means your PowerCore stays maintenance free for up to 100,000 miles
The rugged design makes your Volant PowerCore filter impervious to water
Designed to replace the filter in most Volant, K&N, AEM and Airaid cold air intake systems
Volant backs your PowerCore with a 4-year or 100,000-mile warranty—whichever comes first
Description:
The verdict is in; cotton-gauze is for bandages—not air filters. 30 years ago cotton-gauze was the only way to make a performance filter, but that was 30 years ago. So, why do the leading brands still rely on ancient methods? No one knows, but Volant’s PowerCore launches the performance air filter into the 21st century.

Volant’s new technology packs hundreds of staggered flutes into one rugged filter design. The flutes trap dirt at the surface instead of letting it clog in the pleats like old-time filters. The PowerCore allows more power-rich air and less engine-killing crud into your motor. And, your Volant filter requires zero maintenance for the next 100,000 miles!

Already have a cold air intake? No problem, the PowerCore fits most popular aftermarket systems. So, you can upgrade your K&N, Airaid or AEM intake to the unsurpassed performance and protection of the Volant PowerCore. Best yet, your PowerCore Filter is backed by Volant’s 4-year, 100,000-mile warranty.

Felonious I read the same thing and thought "that is a cool filter". I especially like the waterproof part since I cut out my hood hole. Do you have any clue whether Amsoil is waterproof? I just bought one. Maybe I should get one of those next.

Looks like a great filter, hopefully SOMEONE has hands on or has compared them to other filters.

I was just on amsoil and from the info provided it is not water resistant like the new volant filter is.

After seeing your setup I would definitely be looking at one of the new filters to be able to drive you rig in the rain without having to worry. Well as long as you can keep it out of Jason's shop.

Yeah really... wonder what the ScanGauge will do when it starts raining. Maybe little raindrops will come up on the display...
