Volvo T6
Cold Air Intake
Direct-fit replacement for the factory T6 airbox. PA6-GF glass-fiber nylon, modeled to GD&T, printed on industrial FDM with active vibration comp — plug-and-play, no rewiring, no adapter brackets.
Same family of polymer used for OE airbox housings — thermally stable, chemical-resistant, vibration-dampened. Holds tolerance under hood heat where PLA, PETG, and ABS fail.
Every mating face dimensioned with geometric tolerances, not eyeballed. Flange seats, MAF mount, and clamp surfaces land within OEM-plus fitment — no shimming, no gap-fill.
Printed on industrial FDM equipment with real-time vibration compensation — surface finish and dimensional accuracy that rival injection-molded parts at a fraction of the tooling cost.
Everything you need to know.
No marketing fluff — the actual numbers, materials, and compatibility callouts you'd want before installing this on your own car.
- WHAT'S IN THE BOX
- 1× SilvaDes cold air intake assembly. Ready to install — no cutting, drilling, or adapter brackets required.
- MATERIAL
- PA6-GF (glass-fiber reinforced nylon). Thermally stable, chemical-resistant, vibration-dampened.
- COMPATIBILITY
- Fits all Volvo models running the T6 engine platform (Drive-E, B6, gas).
- FILTER FLANGE
- Accepts any 3-inch (76mm) performance air filter. Flange machined for clamp seal.
- MAF SENSOR
- Retains your stock MAF (OE #LR012073). No wiring modifications, no tune required.
- INSTALL TIME
- ~30 minutes with hand tools. No lift, no specialty equipment.
- SHIPS FROM
- Washington, IL. In-stock orders ship within 1–3 business days.
30 minutes. Hand tools.
Designed to drop into the factory mount points. If you can replace a cabin filter, you can install this.
-
01
Remove the factory airbox
Pop the engine cover, release the OE airbox clips, disconnect the MAF harness, lift it out. Keep the MAF sensor — you're going to reuse it.
-
02
Drop in the SilvaDes intake
The intake seats on the same mounting points as the OE airbox. Hand-tight on the throttle body coupler — no torque spec required.
-
03
Reinstall the MAF sensor + filter
The MAF mount is GD&T-modeled to OEM tolerance. Slide it in, reconnect the harness, then clamp on any 3-inch (76mm) performance filter.
-
04
Verify fitment + start the car
Visual check on the throttle-body coupler and filter clamp. Start it cold, then warm — no CEL, no MAF codes, no trim drift. You're done.
Buy the part — or print it yourself.
The physical intake ships ready to install. Or, if you've got access to industrial FDM, grab the digital file and print it on PA6-GF or PA12-CF.
