question that may have been asked already. I've heard that you can get to much cold air and this can be a problem why??? would the truck not get to optimal operating temperature? I'm mainly asking this in regards to cutting a hole in the rubber next to the radiator. thanks

one intake I had previously was the spectre 9931 on my 2001 ram with a 5.2l. It was more of a ram air as it wasnt very long but it had a huge heat shield that covered the bottom and the sider and extended to the front of the truck and it had a huge filter. I could hear it sucking as soon as i touched the gas. It really seemed to improve acceleration. They dont seem to have one for the dakota but like my k&n its made for the 5.2 not my 3.9 so i dunno how hard it would be to get a ram intake to fit a dakota.

Just bought this one. Looks nice and comes with a k&n. The filter alone is about 45 bucks normally. This is for my 3.9 and will let you guys know how it fits.

Overall the exhaust is a little more aggressive, more power in acceleration or higher rpms. Not a huge increase, but will add more exhaust mods soon.
