Strange Sound After Installing Cold Air Intake
I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi. I put a K&N Cold Air intake on and now have a strange backfiring sound coming from what sounds like the exhaust system. The noise will happen and I feel a slight loss in power and then I slam on the gas and it will be back to normal untill it happens again. Do you know what this could be?

that's really weird man. i can't see it being because of the intake. i mean, the vehicle has "virtually" no idea anything has change. it's probably cause the change in pitch/whisling noise you may be noticing.
if you're really curious, and are pretty handy, there are walk-throughs on how to install an mds light that comes on when mds kicks in...not only is that cool, you may be able to find a correlation in the noise you hear and when that mds light comes on.

I don't see how a cai could cause backfiring. If it comes from the headers it might be an exhaust leak. I know that bad plug wires caused mini backfires on my buddy's chevy, but your truck is not old enough to have that problem.
You might try putting your stock intake on and seeing if that fixes it, but I still agree that it is prolly the change from 8 to 4
