Default Not very impressed

I'm just not a fan of the airhat. Ranging from the weird s bolt, to how it's crammed up into the firewall, to how it performs. After I finally was able to shove the cake into the firewall and get the s-bolt to thread into the throttle body, I put the breather into the hose and started the truck up. Took it out for a spin, and was instantly dissapointed. I lost my low end torque. It did sound very nice, but I wasn't a fan of the way I lost my snap from a stand still. After driving it for the day, I decided to take it off and return it to summitracing. I put my K&N back on and I'm happy with it again. I just was not a fan of this idea. After seeing the hat actually in my truck, it looked weird to me. How can a filter being shoved into the hottest part of the engine with nowhere to breathe be a good idea? It also looks silly how a fuel injected fitler is on my gas engine, just looks weird to me. I got my low end back with the K&N, and I'm getting my $75 back from summit. End of story.

Isnt it supposed to be better due to the smoother and higher flow of air? Unlike crammed tubes of CAI? Which arnt really cold in the first place?

Guess that means you can remove Mopar Airhat from your signature... and add "non-fuel injected gas engine air filter - by K&N".

So how would you say it compares to stock? Was it worse than stock or about the same? I like how mine looks but I like how much quieter the stock setup is a lot more.
