RE: air intake, pic
Very Nice! I would put a smaller clamp on or trim that one, but very nice. Let's here what you used to build this and what kind of gains have you noticed. You did disconnect the battery to reset computer and recal gas pedal? I like where you put the oil breather, what did you use?

Following your post I did disconnect the battery. The fitting was a heater hose connector, it's threaded and screwed itself right into the 3/4 hole. I also coated the threads with clear seal all to make sure it wouldn't leak there and locked it in place. I replaced the clamp with a new shorter one to clean up the looks a little bit. I used a muffler hanger to mount it to the radiator support toward the front, this lets it give a little bit but not much. I might plug the hole for the oil breather and go with a filter like you did.

don't hate me blackdurango but there is a problem. Noone else noticed or said anything. By placing the hose in the location you did you are no longer filtering the air from the oil fill tube to the TB. This is not good as you can end up sucking oil striaght out of the motor. If you notice on the top of the original airbox it chambers the air from that hose all the way down to the filter keeping the engine from sucking oil. I have a homemade intake as well and will post tomorrow. I have a small oil/airfilter thing as well similar to HEMI5. I suggest getting a small filter sooner rathger than later or putting a large clear fuel filter in line which will also work. Go clear that way you know when to clean it out as it will eventually fill up.

Good catch on that dafaic, it also looks cleaner with the oil air breather filter attached. Let's see some photo's dafaic, you can see mine on changing the look of my engine. Black Durango, still no word if you can tell the difference, also doesn't it sound pretty cool when your cruising down the street and you rev it a little.

i will have pics later today. Mine is not fancy i have replaced the whole thing with 3" flex tube no more air silencers doesn't say hemi on the motor anymore. I put a chrome oil breather on the end of the other hose. I used a plumbing rubber hose connector and cut a hole in it and and put the sensor in that. I did this part in the home depot parking lot took me 15 minutes. Started the project at home and took about 30 minutes. Flex hose is from auto zone and was $20.
