I have an 04 Dodge Durango SLT 5.7L Hemi.
I've been thinking about getting an air-intake for it but i have so many choices between:
K&N 77 Series OR FIPK
and
AEM bruteforce

(I've looked at a lot of reviews for these 3 and idk which one and I need good advice on which is better to get)


So which air intake will sound like a monster in my engine and at the same time, a good mpg and better accelerations?

 

I have the AEM and it is working great for over a year now. I think K & N is an oil filter that needs re-oiled every so often while AEM is a dry filter and nneds washed in a salution every so often. I wash my dry filter every 10,000 miles but i think it says do it every 30,000. Either way you will gain more torque and throttle responsiveness,

That's very helpful fact! thx I didn't know any thing about re-oiling w/ a K&N. How's the sound of your intake?

 

It makes a 'whooshing' sound which is more noisey that stock. Now you need a set of exhaust headers to compliment the increased air into the engine. The extra air will produce back pressure as the stock manifolds will restrict the airflow, but headers will open it up and let it flow easier,

I've had an AEM intake on cars before, and it actually came with a K&N filter. Check the systems you're interested in, because not all K&N filters are oiled. I had a dry filter on my AEM with the K&N filter. Personally, because of past experience with AEM and the race track, I will go with AEM when I put a new intake on my 06 Durango. Just bought it, and I need to convince the wife its necessary. And like said before, get headers. Not only will they compliment the intake, but the stock exhaust system will choke up your system. You'll feel it, and your vehicle will hate it. The engine will inhale a lot, and exhale a little. Sorry, I'm starting to ramble. I would go with the AEM myself, but check you're filter, I perfer the K&N filter.
