No kidding!?!?!? F@#k it, get rid of it and get a Bwoody! They send directions, and will help you out oh the phone if you are putting it in backwards!

That little sensor is a pain in the arse. took me a good 20 minutes to figure out how to get it out of the stock tube also. there is a little clip (I think, it's been a while) that i used a screwdriver to press down to pull it out, then just pull pretty hard.

the hardest part was the pulling. The stock tube is rubbery hehe and I had to result to pliers. fortunately I managed not to break the dang thing, but re4ally just PULL HARD!

I'm sure if I'm wrong someone who is actually willing to help will chime in ;)

Where in VA are you? I'm in Fairfax. Put my Volant on about two months ago, real easy.

Got instructions...HOWEVER, the DAMN ATS sensor is a B*t*h to remove. I'm stuck here. In fact, I broke a piece of the sensor...no CELs but this is what's hindering me.

Any "good samaritan" willing to assist a fellow SRT-8 owner?

C'mon! FREE BEER! :-)

just go buy another IAT sensor. $20 at your dealer and worth it to avoid the aggravation.

Gently insert a flathead screwdriver and slowly edge it out. It's harder to get the IAT back in the new tube. Try some lube to make it a little easier.

It's the IAT? Volant's instructions states "ATS"... If so, yea - I'll just purchase a new one from the dealer. Got part no.'s?

I had a Volant System and just recently god rid of it. I thought the quality was very poor and when I went to remove it, the filter tore almost in half! Go with K&N or Airaid

I installed the Bwoody this week and the IAT pulled out and put it back on with ease? No one ate their Wheaties over the weekend? :)

That's because Bwoody's are the best and they almost install themselves they are so good!!!
